The point of the ability is to have access to equipment with stronger enchantments that through shops. Perhaps the better way is to make available more good equipment that can still be enchanted by the player to further improve it?
nono, i understand that, its just that its *always* done by the player, i find it kinda neat how some equipment is forged or made by other characters, but the enchanting sadly is always done by the player, i think just adding different sources of enchantment like i said "mages" or the "shopkeepers" themselves would add a bit more flavor!
