Enchantment

General
An Enchantment is a spell that provides a boost or benefit to the target. This boost can be an increase in armor level, a reduction in Energy cost or even turning damage inflicted into healing! It is usually easy to tell who has an enchantment cast on them since they have some form of shining indication around them, such as the orbiting white monk symbols for Balthazar's Spirit.

Enchantments placed on a target will last for a specific time (like Aura of Restoration), or until a condition is met (like Illusion of Weakness) or will last as long as the caster is willing to maintain their upkeep cost (like Life Barrier). This cost is usually -1 energy regeneration and can be cancelled at any time by the caster.

Stances are a different way to gain bonuses similar to Enchantments.
