Information:

Your mage has an object whose properties have been supernaturally altered, either for increased [[Durability]], [[Structure]], [[Size]] or an [[equipment]] bonus, or to give it some special property, such as to make steel transparent or flexible. Enhanced items are made with the [[Matter]] Arcanum. Any special properties that would require the use of other [[Arcana]] (such as [[Forces]] to make a sword that glows) must be achieved by imbuing the item instead; see [[Imbued Item Merit]]. * '''Function''': Persistent only. A persistent power is always active (i.e., of indefinite [[Duration]]). The user simply needs to hold the item or wear it. * '''No [[Paradox]]''': Enhanced items’ properties do not invoke Paradoxes, although they might invoke [[Disbelief]] in Sleepers if their properties are clearly impossible. * An item can be both enhanced and imbued. See [[Imbued Item Merit]]. Simply add the cost of all enhancements and imbuements together to determine the item’s total Merit cost. * Acquiring an enhanced item once play begins does not cost Merit dots; characters must gain such items through roleplaying actions. If the item is ever lost, stolen or destroyed, the player loses the Merit and the points he spent to gain it. ===Cost=== : '''''Example''': A katana normally has a +3 equipment bonus, but [[Truce]] carries a special katana. It sports a +2 enchanted equipment bonus (for a total bonus of +5 dice) and a +2 Durability (for a total of Durability 6). It costs him 3 [[Merits|Merit]] dots. {| class="eodtable" style="width: auto;" |style="border-bottom: 1px solid #336699; width: 9%;"| '''Property''' |style="border-bottom: 1px solid #336699; width: 9%;"| '''Merit Dot Cost''' |- |Increased [[Durability]] |1 dot per +2 Durability |- |Increased [[Structure]] |1 dot per +2 Structure |- |Increased [[Size]] |1 dot per +2 Size |- |Increased [[equipment]] bonus |1 dot per +1 dice modifier* |- |Special Property |1 dot per [[Arcana|Arcanum]] dot needed to achieve the property |- | colspan="2" style="border-top: 1px solid dimgrey;" |''* If the enhanced equipment bonus is more than double the item’s normal equipment bonus, the enhanced item causes [[Disbelief]] when Sleepers witness its use''. |} {{links|Imbued Items}}{{Parent|Imbued Items}}{{characteristics}}
