I don't even pretend to understand that for the other magical skills any more than I do for Enchanting. Just in case you somehow missed that in this thread.
But it's requirement has nothing to do with any of the other skills anymore than Sorcery has anything to do with Conjuring, Centering, or Divining. It's Enchanting's requirement, and that's all it is. Likewise, it's the only requirement for the skill. Feel free to read the actual description for Enchanting. It starts on page 39 of Magic in the Shadows. Your own magical ability has no bearing on it, beyond the idiotic requirement of a Magic Attribute of 1 or higher. By definition, any Awakened character with Enchanting is officially an "Enchanter" (p. 40). Not a "Sorcerer Enchanter" or an "Adept Enchanter." Just an "Enchanter." It's a completely unique magical ability that any magician can acquire and use just by learning the skill. Period. |

Just so you know, I'm not actually arguing that you are wrong. :)
It's just that, from a logic standpoint (and by default, in my games), I think that some sort of relationship between the character's actual Magic abilities (outside of Enchanting) and the types of items that he can enchant should exist. |

IMHO, its because magic use is actually involved. You have to ground magic into the focus to make it work, even though you do it slowly enough to not take drain. And you have to have a magic attribute to channel magical energy. |

Yeah, I can agree with that. That is why I think that the type of Magic a character can access should have some bearing on the types of Foci that he can Enchant. |
