.: Help for enchanting (skill)

Enchantments are not forged — they are grown. Living Chrysalis
mutations bind themselves to your equipment through crafted settings,
growing stronger with use. The skill is governed by
Perception.

━━━ How Enchantments Work ━━━

An enchanted item claims a portion of your life force. You will see
a dark section in your vital bars — that energy belongs to the
enchantment now. As you fight with the enchanted item equipped, the
bond deepens and may advance to a higher tier.

Two-handed weapons receive doubled enchantment effects, but also
double the reserve cost.

━━━ Requirements ━━━

  Station:   An enchanting circle in the room.
  Materials: Binding paste, chrysalis settings, and catalysts.
  Target:    The item must be equipped (not in your backpack).

━━━ Targeting ━━━

Enchanting targets your equipped gear by slot name:

  craft honed-edge           Enchants your wielded weapon.
  craft honed-edge weapon#2   Enchants your offhand weapon.
  craft thornguard shield     Enchants your shield.
  craft ironblood ring#2      Enchants your second ring.
  craft chitin-brace 2.wrist  Enchants your second wrist slot.

For slots with only one item (head, neck, body, etc.), just use
the recipe name — no slot specifier needed.
