Allows an enchanter to enchant basic items up to a maximum potential skill of 300. Requires Dusts and Essences found by disenchanting magic items.

How it works

Enchanting is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Learn Spell (effect type 36). It triggers Enchanting.
  2. Effect 2 is Learn Spell (effect type 36). It triggers Enchanting.
  3. Effect 3 is Skill Step (effect type 44). Its base value is 1.

What it does

Enchanting is a spell with an instant cast and a range of 100 yards. When cast it teaches a spell and has a Skill Step effect. It also casts Enchanting (record #7411) and Enchanting (record #264455).

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
