Enchanting is used to create sub-Artifact level effects. They are typically quite minor. Like the Minor Geomancy rules, Enchantment works by considering zero-level and negative effects resulting from Quality.

Enchantment going into the construction of weapons or armor generally represents a resource cost increase - the requirement that a certain effectiveness of armor or weaponry requires some measure of enchantment varies wildly. As a rule, however, many such rituals are performed on Resource •••• and ••••• items merely out of practicality.

Enchantments affecting the quality of other items can provide +1-+3 dice to a roll, depending on the effective Quality rolled during the Research, Design and Construction Phases. '-2' provides a +1 die bonus, '-1' provides a +2 die bonus, and 'Zero' provides a +3 die bonus. Anything better is generally considered an Artifact. These rolls more accurately represent quality items in general, though they will raise the Quality requirement of some rolls.

=== Talismans ===
Talismans deserve a bit of a special note, as they aren't based on dice. These effects are not cumulative with minor Geomantic effects upon a region or household. Evaluating the potency and effect of a Talisman is a difficulty 1 Intelligence + Lore roll, or a difficulty 3 Wits + Lore roll.

Charms Against Disease: Disease Charms are rare because they are a bit more difficult to enchant than others.
* -1: This level of quality produces a talisman which reduces the effective Virulence and Morbidity of diseases that would take her by one (to a minimum of one).
* Zero: This level of quality on a talisman reduces the Virulence and Morbidity of diseases affecting the wearer by two (to a minimum of zero).

Good Luck Charms and Walkaways:
* -2: Negate one botch per Story, negate one health level of damage from a lethal or maiming wound per Story.
* -1: Negate two botches per Story, negate two health levels of damage from a lethal or maiming wound per Story.
* Zero: Negate three botches per Story, negate three health levels of damage from a lethal or maiming wound per Story.

Warding Talismans: Wards against the Exalted, Incarna, Deathlords and Primordials (including Yozis and Malfeans) are much less potent. These are Zero-rated items that only inflict a +1 difficulty penalty to rolls against the bearer. Only a specific type of Exalted may be warded against. In any case, these beings can still tell if someone is so warded, and may react accordingly, if they care.
* -2: Add one to the difficulty of the Warded subject's rolls to affect the bearer.
* -1: Add two to the difficulty of the Warded subject's rolls to affect the bearer.
* Zero: Add three to the difficulty of the Warded subject's rolls to affect the bearer.
