Giving us the ability to enchant items would not add anything to our class
to unbalance it vs. other casting classes. It is just a continution of our
current enchant metals line. It is what our class is about. There are lots
of jewelcrafters out there that aren't enchanters, just as there will be a
lot of people who aren't enchanters crafting magic weapons and armor if we
get the ability to enchant ore in the future. This isn't an 'addition' to
our class, this is finally delivering what was promised...
