      It does work, but there are restrictions now.

Uh
I must strongly disagree to this change. 150 grace are NOT medium sized.
Weapon enchantments are for warriors, but many warriors has only medium/low
wisdom. I often play warriors with about level 35-40 and they have not 150
grace!

I know the tricks to get fast priest levels, but "normal" players will never
come
to it. Forget it, you reserve this now for extra advanced players like us.

I mean, look in the hit lists, how much players are in there with grace
>
     
     150?
     
     Without the dev team people? 1 or 2.

I don't want enchant dragonbane, i want enchant my long sword, which i have
enchanted by scroll. Enchanting by gods brings them the needed special
attacks.

Enchanting weapons is now pretty useless, except you use it as "stat
bringer", holding
in hand (like echanting it with much pow/wis for spellcaster). But thats not
the way
this should go.

There are to many monsters out, which have physical res. You even can't kill
a vampire,
skull or other with it. There are not enough sources for low weapons with
special attacks
out, when we go here, we need low quests, where you get a sword of hitting
or sword of cold
or so.

But i play it as level 20 warrior, enchanting a sword with my stat potion to
bring me
the last str points to max out, enchanting it with special power and then i
go for the
arctifact.

This 150 grace thing will break weapon enchanting.

So
- bring the god enchanting down to about 50 - 75 grace (and thats also a
lot)

or better:

 - allow scrolls where you can enchanting normal weapons only with special
attacks.
   This will bring the things back to order.
