E/F/M:

The performance of this Casting Ritual requires three Action Turns. This magical Operation engenders a K/S bonus in an enchanted item. The object of this Casting will confer up to a 20-point Knowledge/Skill Area enhancement (a plus to STEEP) to its possessor when held, worn, or presented. The Heka forger must possess the Knowledge/Skill Area imbued in the subject object, and must have a STEEP at least 8 times greater than the bonus thus conferred.

It is never possible to cast this Effect with another of similar ability-enhancing sort upon the same object, as the two will absolutely nullify each other.

Because of this, weapons are not usually imbued with this dweomer.

However, if this Effect is conjoined with that conferring increased BAC (Attack Bonus Casting), the dweomers will not nullify, but this one will function only to enable parrying and on rolls for Hit Location - considerable benefit still!

For Heka-generating K/S Areas to be enhanced through this Casting, cost is doubled to 44,000 BUCs/STEEP point.
