In Nightingale there are numerous ways to enhance your character whether that be through better gear, Infusions, Charms, or Enchantments. Where most of the other enhancements offer you passive skills, enchantments offer you active skills; one could say magic. When you apply an enchantment to a weapon or tool, it’ll get that effect, allowing you to cast the applied enchantment. There are currently 18 enchantments in Nightingale that offer you the ability to heal, deal damage, summon, and much more. Find out below every enchantment in the game and where you can get them.
Enchantments allow you to cast spells when applied to your weapons.

How to Apply and Use Enchantments¶
Using Enchantments is relatively simple once you know how. Simply craft the enchantment and then 
it in your inventory. Select Apply and place it on the weapon of your choice. You can have up to three Enchantments equipped per weapon, but this is dependent on the rarity of said weapon. For example, an uncommon weapon can only have one enchantment, while an epic weapon can have three. Once you have the enchantments equipped, select the weapon on your hot bar, and press 
to activate it. Now, press 
to use the enchantment or hold to charge it up three times to enhance the effect. Finally, hold down to change between those weapon enchantments.
That’s all there is to it. There is a respectable amount of Enchantments for Early Access with possibly many more to be added at launch, but until then you have more than enough to deal with the current threats in the game.
