For the class of effect described as "hostile enchantments", see Willpower#Resistible enchantments. For the defunct spell school with these effects, see Enchantments.
Armour, weapons and shields may have enchantments. For example, a +7 broad axe has an enchantment of +7. Each enchant, or "plus", adds +1 to a specific stat:
- A scroll of enchant armour enchants armour and shields.
- Armour gain 1 AC per enchantment, increasing the maximum AC roll by 1.
- Shields gain 1 SH per enchantment, increasing the chance to block. They are enchanted via a scroll of enchant armour.
- A [[scroll of enchant weapon enchants weapons.
Rings may also display an enchant value, though except for a unique shop vault, they will always be either +6 or +4 (depending on the stat of the ring). They can not be enchanted further. Artefacts come with a random enchantment value and can not be enchanted further.
This is not to be confused with brands or egos (e.g. broad axe of flaming).
Enchantment Limit
All enchantable items have a maximum that they can be naturally enchanted:
| Maximum Enchantment Levels | |
|---|---|
| Weapon | +9 |
| Body armour | +(Armour's base AC) |
| Barding | +4 |
| Shields | +3 for Bucklers, +5 for Kite shields, +8 for Tower shields |
| All other armour | +2 |
Artefacts are not bound to these limits and may be "overenchanted". Enchantment level can be negative, though items do not normally generate with a negative enchantment, being usually exclusive to artefacts and other very specific sources (such as the Cinder Acolyte background).
History
- Prior to 0.27's removal of curses, negative enchantments used to be a lot more common (on cursed items).
- Prior to 0.25, stat boosting rings could naturally spawn with an enchantment from 2 to 6, positive or negative. An amulet of reflection varied in the same way, though was always positive.
- Prior to 0.15, weapons had a seperate to-hit enchant and damage enchant (e.g. +8,+6 broad axe). A scroll of enchant weapon I increased the former, a scroll of enchant wepaon II for the latter, and a scroll of enchant weapon III increased both twice.
