I agree with people when they complain that the WM's are getting enchanting as I see it as a MM area only. What I'd like to see for weapon enchanting is a cross-guild project. A barb/paladin to forge the weapon/armor, a magic user(MM or WM only preferrebly) to supply the spell and lastly a MM to do the actual enchanting.
How skilled the forger is should not have an impact to the enchangting success as it is irrelevant is it has mod or heavy slice ie. The PM and MD(possibly PM for the strength and harness for the duration, MD should determine how much of the optimal strength is applied) of the spellsupplier should determine how powerful each charge is. And finally should the PM and MD of the MM decide how many charges there will be.

Hoglum,
To put it politely, NO. Warrior Mage enchanting has been sitting on the promised list for at least 6 years, and it has been long know that ALL 3 magic primary guilds will have their own enchanting.
Moon Mages have, and will retain, utility enchanting.
Warrior Mages have been promised, time and time again, combat enchanting (weapons & armor).
Clerics have now been promised personal enhancement type enchanting.
I am sorry that you, as the player of a Moon Mage primary character, feel threatened by having "Enchanting" opened up to other guilds, but allowing only Moon mages to do all enchanting is not in the spirit of either the game or the guild.

I don't feel threatened by other guilds having access to enchanting. I just stated my view on how enchanting should be implemented. I can certainly see how it can be justified that other guilds have access to it but in my opinion this is what could add more character to the MM guild and set the MM guild apart as something unique. My MM is btw not my primary character.

A GM, I believe Valdrik, said that enchanting would not be forged armor and weapons only. His point was that everything was forged by somebody. NPC's and PC's weapons come from the same basic ingriedients, it's just the PC's are now able to do it alot better. While things can and do change from what GM's say, don't hold your breath that weapon/armor enchanting will have to be on forged items. You also shouldn't hold your breath that MM will get any more weapon enchantments. It was also stated by whichever GM it was that MM would get one weapon enchantment (permanent Moonblade, I believe) and alot of utility, while WM would get one utility and alot of combat. I don't say this to be mean to you, I'm just repeating what was told to us.

1. When you're ready for them.
2. When you're not ready for them..
