Dugmaren will have to approve any new weapons with enchantments before they go into the game.
NOTE: ENCHANT_W_BANE weapons will require Value[7] to identify which race it gives bonuses against. Use the numerical value for the race you want found in the RACE chart for the .MOB file.

Weapon enchantments are magical properties that can be added to any weapon without the use of special procedures. There are currently 22 possible enchantments in the game, ranging from elemental damage to vampiric to keen (improved critical range) types. Some of these enchantments are invisble and work behind the scenes, while others can directly modify your damage messages. For instance, a flaming longsword will now show "Your powerful flaming slash barely wounds a tough old pirate". The modifiers to damage messages are limited to two words at most though, with various types taking precedence to keep the spam in check.

These enchantments are currently only available to areamakers to add to new or existing weapons, but there are lots of future possiblities for customization with this system.
