Augmentation

Augmentation is the skill of enchanting pre-existing items with magical powers.

Doing an enchantment involves three things:

  1. The presence of two Ourobori.
  2. Some commodities.
  3. Performing a sequence of ritualistic actions.

Once you have obtained the necessary commodities, put them in one of the ourobori, and the item you wish to be augmented in the other.


To begin the augmentation process:

BEGIN ENCHANTMENT OF <item> WITH <enchantment>

After this, you simply have to perform the relevant actions in the proper order. Once you've done this, type END RITUAL. If you've performed everything properly, you will succeed. If not, you will fail, destroying your commodities and item in the process.

Ritual Actions

  1. RING BELL
  2. CHANT <phrase> (different phrase for different products)
  3. BANG DRUM
  4. SPIN AROUND THRICE
  5. LIGHT CANDLE
  6. CLAP HANDS
  7. BURN THE POLYGON
  8. POINT SWORD
  9. BURN INCENSE
  10. PLAY HORN
  11. STRUM LUTE
  12. FLIPCOIN
  13. ROLL DICE
  14. WAVE ARMS
  15. CRUSH KOLA
  16. WAVE FEATHER
  17. SQUARE THE CIRCLE

Key:

10x12, 9, 3x7 = do #12 (flipcoin) 10 times, do #9 (burn incense) once, and then do #7 (burn the polygon) 3 times.

Cooldown:
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}

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.
