About Enchantment Names
Enchantment names describe the permanent magical properties woven into items. Unlike spells (cast and done) or curses (harmful afflictions), enchantments are beneficial magical augmentations. From the simple "+1 to hit" to legendary properties like "Vorpal," enchantments define what makes magical items special.
Naming Conventions
Enchantments typically use power-indicating prefixes (Greater, Lesser, Mighty) combined with effects (Slaying, Protection, Speed). Game systems often use standardized naming (+1 Flaming, Keen Edge), while narrative settings prefer evocative names (Thundercaller, Souldrink).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do weapon and armor enchantments differ?
Weapon enchantments focus on offense: Slaying, Fury, Sharpness, Destruction. Armor enchantments emphasize defense: Protection, Warding, Resistance, Fortitude. Some apply to both: Speed, Channeling, Power.
Should enchantments have tiers?
Tiers help game balance: Lesser, Standard, Greater, Supreme. Or numerical: +1, +2, +3. Narrative settings might use evocative tiers: Touched, Blessed, Sanctified, Divine. Consistent tiering helps players understand relative power.
How do I name unique enchantments?
Unique enchantments deserve unique names. Instead of "Greater Fire Damage," try "Phoenix's Wrath" or "Inferno's Kiss." Named enchantments suggest history and make items feel special.
What about combination enchantments?
Combined effects can have compound names: "Flame Burst" (fire + explosion), "Frozen Lightning" (ice + electric). Or unique names for the combination: "Stormfire" sounds more legendary than "Fire and Lightning."
How do I name defensive enchantments?
Defensive enchantments often use protective language: Shield, Ward, Aegis, Bulwark. Resistance enchantments reference what they resist: Fireward, Frostguard, Mindshield. Durability enchantments: Unbreaking, Eternal, Adamantine.
Should enchantments reference their creation?
Some enchantments reference their origin: "Dwarven Resilience," "Elven Grace," "Shadowweave." This adds worldbuilding—where do magical items come from? What traditions created these enchantments?
