So I made a woke-up-too-early error and tried to cast the final enchant on my 7x before it was done (completely missed the messaging about 3 more days).
Apparently the penalty for this bone-headed move is to reset the project. So now I have 3+ months of tempering to redo.
I do not really see the purpose of this ruthless penalty. It is not as if casting the enchant early will actually enchant the item before it is ready. It seems reasonable to just say "idiot, wait 3 more days like I told you to." Not "idiot, I'm going to make you want to quit gemstone."

Casting at an item that is not ready is always going to be a failure. Either you will lock the item or damage it by reducing is a number of random steps.
I understand the mistake, but it is the intended consequence for failing to check and ensure the item is ready.
