Enchanting tutorial

What we will accomplish

1. Creating a new enchantment
2. Enchanting a new weapon

Creating the new weapon

First, go to the Object Window and expand the following items in the tree:

Items > Weapon

For this tutorial I will be using an existing mesh of an elven longsword, you can use whatever mesh you want, expand the tree to the following:

Items > Weapon > Elven

And select the WeapElvenLongSword. Change the EditorID to AAEnchantTutorial. The AA part isn't essential although it will almost ensure that it will be at the top of the list. Click OK.

Creating the enchantment

Right, now go to the following node in the Object Window:

Magic > Enchantment

Rightclick in the list and choose New. An empty enchantment window will pop-up. In the EditorID box write AAEnchantment. Next, in the effects box, click new and scroll down until you find 'Frost Damage', click on that. Leave the Range box as it is.

• Set the area to 2
• Set the Duration to 2
• Set the Magnitude to 5

Now click OK. This should leave you with something like this:

Attaching the enchantment to the sword

Now go back to the sword and in the Enchanting drop-down box choose AAEnchant (it should be at the top of the list).

• In the Enchantment box set it to 2000.
• Change the name to Chilly Long Sword and click OK.

The longsword edit screen should now look something like this:
