06-17-07, 11:12 AM Inspired by a thread elsewhere that addressed the problems of discussing enchanted objects in game I thought I would start a thread to collect the jargon and technical terms of Eberron's artificers, as a role playing aid and a way to help solve that problem in game.

Magnitude/ Mag: The strength of an armor or weapons intrinsic enchantment, ex 'I can sell you a 3 Mag longsword, but it will cost you.' Corect use would be 'Third magnitude'

Hit: to enchant or infuse with magical power, from the act of striking metal with a hammer during its forging process ex 'I'll hit some bane into my blade here and teach you to steal from me'

Augment / Aug : As Magnitude but for enhancement bonuses to attributes such as that granted by gauntlets of ogre power ex 'Use the belt rather than the bracers, Augs more.'

Shtum / Shtumer : to dispel or suppress a magical effect / one known for doing so. ex 'If he hits his blade you better shtum it before he gets near'.

Come on people, suggestions welcome.

Are my ideas that bad? does any one have anything to contribute?

08-11-07, 07:32 AM I like it all, except for 'Shtumer'. Where did you get the from? I personally would've gone with the term "De-Hit', as dispelling is close to de-enchanting. I think it rolls of the tongue a bit better too.

08-11-07, 09:04 PM From the German for quiet, taken in game as a Dwarven loan word, not all jargon has to have a technical root, and to my ear 'Shtum' is almost onomatopoeia to suppressing a Dee-Woms.
