Enchanted Weapon (spell)
Enchanted Weapon is a spell that imbues an ordinary weapon with magical properties, allowing it to strike creatures that can only be harmed by enchanted arms. The weapon functions as a magical weapon conferring a +1 bonus to hit and damage. The spell may be cast upon any weapon or even a missile such as a single arrow or bolt, along with swords, spears, maces, axes, bows and daggers.

Weapons exceeding 25 lbs are too large to be effectively enchanted by this spell. This restriction applies primarily to siege engines or exotic weapons wielded by creatures of great strength. Even magical weapons that exceed this weight cannot benefit from Enchanted Weapon, as the spell is designed to reinforce finely balanced arms rather than brute-force implements. Normal weapons that have been enlarged through the spell are still affected.
If the spell extension IIis applied, the enchantment doubles, increasing the weapon's bonus to +2 including the expansion of the spell's duration.
Weapons affected by the spell do not glow or give any indication that they've been affected, which might serve as a sign to an enemy regarding who ought to be attacked or given special attention. However, the effect can be magically detected and dispelled as the enchantment is ongoing. The enchanted weapon is unaffected by an enemy's magical resistance.
