      Here's the full current set of enchant_weapon levels:

Uh oh, I've just realized that I have misinterpreted some parts of the
new weapon-enchant code. The maximum amount of wc bonus granted is
dependant on the player's wisdom level already. So there is absolutely
no need for any grace limit. And it doesn't make sense to put more than
one type of enchant_weapon_xxx into a god's treasurelist.

I have corrected these things on cvs now.

      My patch38d/arch38d has "medium grace level" at 80 (40 without altar),

First, I have to say that none of these "original" god_*.arc files got
checked into cvs. Some time after the new god-intervention-code was
put in, I realized that these arches were missing and CF-server didn't
work. So I looked at the code, created all the required god_*.arc files
and did the gods-rebalancing stuff while at it (affecting the existing
god's arches and lib/treasures).
So don't be surprised to find new values in the god-related arches.

About weapon enchanting: I have put the enchant_weapon objects
before the grace-limits in the gods' treasurelists now. So there is
no minimum grace needed anymore to get the slayings/attacktypes.
However, there is still some natural minimum of grace and stats
required to get any god-intervention to happen at all.
Moreover, the max. amount of wc-bonus on weapons depends on the
player's wisdom level as well as the "enchanting-difficulty".
The latter differs for weapon_echant_low/medium/high.
