Augmentation

Augmentation is the skill of enchanting pre-existing items with magical powers. Like Enchantment, the now defunct skill from which its abilities are derived, it requires ritualistic actions, commodities, and the presence of two ourobori. It shares this trait with the skill called Conjuration.

Imbue	Imbue scrolls with transferrable enchantments.
Syntax: RECITE <scroll> [ON] <item> Details: Your mastery in the field of augmenting items has progressed to such a degree that you are now able to imbue scrolls with enchantments rather than standard items. This is done in the normal way, simply by substituting one of the enchantable scrolls for the target item. Once you have enchanted a scroll, anyone may recite the scroll on an item, transferring the stored enchantment to that item. This will destroy the scroll, and normal limitations apply (such as only being able to recite the scroll on footwear if it is storing the walk on water enchantment). You may purchase scrolls from most general stores around Sapience.
