Enchanting is the crafting discipline of taking jewels and other items obtained from mining and combining them with fragments, hearts, and essences dropped from monsters. Once completed, wrangling is used to charge the gem. Once charged, it can be used by for smithing or gemchanted into an existing weapon or armor. Gems can provide stat boosts, AC and WC increases, and HP/SP regeneration.
Gemchanting is permanent and anyone can gemchant items with charged gems. Each piece of armor is limited to a single gemchant and your are limited to a total of three of the same gem's effect at one time. For example, if you had three pieces with "Major Lion" on them already, wearing a fourth piece would not provide any additional benefit.

The quality of a finished gem depends on the quality of the raw materials. Additionally, there is a small chance that the gem may drop in quality during its creation; this risk can be mitigated by raising your enchanting level relative to the gem's level and the crafting.enchanter mskill.
