Enchantment

An enchantment is magic imbued into an object or otherwise left or persisting in an object or place. The term can also be used broadly to refer to latent magic or spells in general, but this article details enchantments proper. While the principle behind cantrips is focus, the underlying principle of enchantments is sustained focus.
Ingredients/Methods of Enchantment:

* Intransitive: enchantment affects artefact itself

* Ditransitive: enchantment allows wielder to affect a target
Gorasalus's Laws of Enchantment
*There must be an object to enchant. A stone, a ring, a mind.
*It is easier to enchant an object at the making of it, to weave the magic into its whole form.
*Magic greater than normal usage is required to imbue a cantrip-like use of a spell into an object: an enchantment. There is also a sense and timbre required, a grasp for impartation that accompanies the greater amount of energy used up. (Some have a knack for enchantment, something about the way they think makes their mind put together enchantments reflexively.) There is a flash of sensation that feels like air passing from mind to object when the enchantment is imparted. Longer enchantments can feel like an ethereal breeze swirling between the enchanter and the enchanted.
*Time and focus are required. It takes extra attention and a giving up of yourself to forge an enchantment. See the smith hammering away at an ensorceled blade, the wizard levitating a stone, the scribe carefully making letterforms.
*It's easier to disenchant than to enchant. Unless you put in the additional effort of sealing. Sealing is a distinct spell that requires a greater degree of focus while holding the same sense as initially enchanting.
