View source for Enchantment basin

The '''Enchantment basin''' is a way to customize equipment past what the [[crafting]] allows a player to do. Various properties can be added to many different types of items, from skill bonuses, to weight reduction, to Darkvision. 


==Adding properties==
# Approach an Enchantment Basin (located in various areas throughout the module) and place the item you would like to enchant inside, then close it. 
# Cycle through the menu until you find the desired effect you would like to place on the item. 
# Depending on the property, you may be prompted to be more specific with your decision (Generally Type -> Quality) 
# When you have narrowed down your choice far enough, you will have the option to 'place' the property on the item. At this point the basin will show you the percent chance of success, the cost of gold, and the experience that will be lost (which is 1/10th the gold cost), should the attempt fail. 
# Gold will be taken no matter what. Experience will only be lost on a failure, as well as the item being destroyed. 


===Limitations===
* The Enchantment Basin will only work with one item in at a time. Stacks of items (scrolls, potions, misc) are considered one item. Player will get a message notifying them if there is more than one. 
* Not all items can be enchanted with all properties. Properties that are able to be enchanted onto an item will show up in blue, while the ones that aren't able will show up in red. 
* It is possible to change the 'ownership' of an item by adding the new owners name in brackets when renaming the item in question. 
* Item properties of the same 'type' may not stack. For example, it is possible to put +1 strength and +1 dexterity on an item without issue. It is not possible to put a Level 1 spell slot (wizard) and a Level 2 spell slot (wizard) on the same item, however. 
* Some properties on items are ignored by game mechanics and don't provide any practical advantages when worn, for example [[Skill_and_feat_changes#Skill_changes|Appraise]].

===Tips===
* It is a common practice to enchant a found basic item (such as a small statuette) with weight reduction to allow customization of that item by renaming it and changing its description.

* Enchantment spell focuses: Having varying degrees of [[Spell_changes#Enchantment|Spell Focus (Enchantment)]] grants the Enchanter a boost to their ability to enchant.

* Deities with the [[Deity#Aspects|appropriate aspect]] grant a boon to the success chance of enchantments. 

* Every enchantment will have at least a 5% chance of both failure and success.
