Casting Time	8 seconds
Duration	Permanent

Enchants a magic item that produces an effect similar to another of the spells the caster knows.

Cost of enchantment by commonality of the underlying spell and the point value of the afflicted Advantages and skills, rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Commonality	Base Price
Common	$20 x point value
Uncommon	$100 x point value
Rare	$500 x point value
Very Rare	$2,000 x point value

Disadvantages work similar to the above, but are worth one tenth of their absolute point value.

Some enchantments carry the possibility of a cost multiplier based on the type of magic item:

Type	Multiplier	Required Conditions
Melee Weapon	x10	Affects a melee weapon's chance to hit or increases it's damage
Missile Weapon	x20	Affects a missile weapon's chance to hit or increases it's damage
Projectile Weapon	x0.25	None
Wearable Item	x10	No activation cost Increases the user's chance to hit or increases the damage they can dish out

This cost is further modified by the caster's skill level with the underlying spell, if the Based on Caster's Skill Enhancement is used:

Skill	Multiplier
Less than 15	x1
15	x1.5
16	x1.9
17	x2.3
18	x2.7
19	x3.5
Each further +1	Add 2 to multiplier

Some spells have additional notes that affect enchantment prices and more notes on enchanting are available here.
