Enchanting

Enchanting is the skill used to create magic items out of ordinary objects.

Casting Implements

Without Enchanting, a wand is just a stick. Enchanted implements magnify a spellcaster's power, in much the same way that a sword is more powerful than a punch. Implements' form varies, with popular variants including wands, orbs, rods, totems, and athames, but they can be almost anything. Mechnically speaking, the implement's form is purely cosmetic, and does not affect its function.

Erudite Implement

The erudite implement rewards careful preparation and a keen mind. It grants spell haste (a chance to immediately cast again as a free action when the roll succeeds, with failed rolls carrying over) and prepared slots that let you cast spells you don't normally know.

Rank	Level	Cost	Basic Benefit	Special Ability
1	2	1 gp	+20% spell haste, 1 prepared slot	—
2	4	4 gp	+40% spell haste, 2 prepared slots	Once per long rest, refresh all expended preparation slots
3	8	16 gp	+60% spell haste, 3 prepared slots	Prepare spells from an ally's spell list
4	10	24 gp	+80% spell haste, 4 prepared slots	(TBD)
5	12	50 gp	+100% spell haste, 5 prepared slots	(TBD)

Sorceror's Implement

The sorceror's implement rewards a forceful mind and a deep commitment to the pursuit of magical power. It grants Hit Power (bonus damage per die) and Empower charges that double spell damage.

Rank	Level	Cost	Basic Benefit	Special Ability
1	2	1 gp	+1 Hit Power, 1 Empower/short rest	—
2	4	4 gp	+2 Hit Power, 2 Empower/short rest	Doublecast: use Empower to cast a second spell as a free action
3	8	16 gp	+3 Hit Power, 3 Empower/short rest	Spell damage rolls always have advantage
4	10	24 gp	+4 Hit Power, 4 Empower/short rest	(TBD)
5	12	50 gp	+5 Hit Power, 5 Empower/short rest	(TBD)

Adept's Implement

The adept's implement rewards a patient and intuitive mind. It grants bonuses to Hit and spell DC, plus the implement can hold concentration for you without using your own concentration slot.

Rank	Level	Cost	Basic Benefit	Special Ability
1	2	1 gp	+1 Hit/DC, implement concentration	—
2	4	4 gp	+2 Hit/DC, implement concentration	Quicken a utility spell once per short rest (free action)
3	8	16 gp	+3 Hit/DC, implement concentration	Set a trigger to auto-cast a counter spell
4	10	24 gp	+4 Hit/DC, implement concentration	(TBD)
5	12	50 gp	+5 Hit/DC, implement concentration	(TBD)

Occult Implement

The occult implement is for a wielder of secret magic, who benefits from subtlety. It grants critical bonuses and can be absorbed into yourself. Combat Advantage attacks deal critical bonus damage.

Rank	Level	Cost	Basic Benefit	Special Ability
1	2	1 gp	+1 crit range, +50% crit damage	Absorb implement; CA attacks deal crit bonus
2	4	4 gp	+2 crit range, +100% crit damage	No somatic components needed
