Enchanting

Please note, level 10 (radiant) is not the same as fully enchanted. An item will appear radiant at 91% or more of fully enchanted, and obtaining full enchant may take further casts of the High Enchant spell. The caster can tell when an item is fully enchanted from messages given off while casting the spell. The enchantment levels are:

Appearance	Level	From %	To %
No enchantment visible	0	0	0
It occasionally pulses with octarine light.	1	1	10
It emits a slight octarine glow.	2	11	20
It softly pulses in dull octarine shades.	3	21	30
It gives off a steady but dull octarine glow.	4	31	40
It gives off a steady octarine glow.	5	41	50
It glows an intense octarine.	6	51	60
It emits a bright octarine colour.	7	61	70
It brightly pulses octarine.	8	71	80
It glows brilliant octarine shades.	9	81	90
It radiates pure octarine brilliance.	10	91	100

Each cast uses 1 handful of Purple Mineral Powder. The ability to attain a given level of enchantment when casting the spell depends on several factors:

The weight of the item, note that this is not a simple function of weight such as heavier = harder.
The skill of the caster.
The environment.
The existing level of enchantment.
The random nature of magic.

For these reasons, it is impossible for any but the most skilled wizards to reliably and accurately predict the cost of enchanting a specified item to a specified level. As a general guide, a competent enchanter can usually get from level 5 (steady) to max enchant (rad / sloshed) in 4 casts, but it could take up to 8.

Each cast uses 1 handful (50 pinches) of Purple Mineral Powder. This can not be expressed in terms of a given number of Purple Mineral Nuggets, as the nuggets may give anything between 10 and 40 pinches of powder when pulverised. Please don't talk in terms of nuggets, nuggets are a very imprecise measure.
