Pages of the entry
Inscription gives any enchantment of the game at the level you want — exactly, without the enchanting table's lottery. A Confluence altar writes it like this: lay a thing the enchantment suits, or a book, on the central plinth, the inscription's things around it, vessels of its distillate nearby, and touch the Heart with the Conduit. A book comes out enchanted: an anvil lays it onto a thing. To begin: Sharpness I on a sword — two flints, an iron ingot and two parts each of Bane, Edge and Lattice.
Weave
CraftThe level of an enchantment is how much opaline lies on the plinths: the inscription's things give the first, each opaline beyond them one level more. Opaline remembers a level as it remembers the cut of a lens. Each level costs twice the distillate: Sharpness I is six parts, Sharpness V ninety-six. Raising Sharpness II to IV costs only the difference.
The higher the level, the more things on the plinths and the more distillate — and the heavier the Confluence: Sharpness I is simple, a bare altar holds it steady; Sharpness V is great and needs weirs and calm stones. The Heart tells you before you begin whether the calm will hold.
Inscription does not get around the rules of the world. Enchantments that contend will not lie on one thing: Sharpness, Smite and Bane of Arthropods; the protections among themselves; Fortune and Silk Touch; Mending and Infinity. Nothing goes above its highest level, and every other enchantment on the thing makes the price a quarter higher. The Heart tells you if the thing will not take the inscription.
