I'm sorry but i totally disagree with you.
Enchanters are almost useless Jeweling is THEIR skill
sure others can do jewelry and i knowlots of people
do. All they do is get an enchanter to cast spells for
em. I don't think any other classes should "Enchant"
cause "Enchanting" is for "Enchanters" get my point?
Anyway I think you are way off on this and it's a
horrible idea cause than i would have too much
competition and the people wouldn't buy fromme if they
could make it. Instead i think enchanters could get a
few more spells that would give charges on certiant
things... and it didn't have to have bars it could
merely be cast on an certiant item that can use
diffrent types of charges and can be filled with
diffrent types of charges <get me?> like a baulb I put
buncha charges in it, and use em all than put more.
Course it should take a lot of mana and maybe a
certiant item <cheap perhaps? cause charges suck>.
