Enchantment
From Valwiki
The enchantment pool is a pool that deals directly with the changing and shifting of the mana of an object. As such, this pool can be learned by any mage (Even those who take practical magic!). However, the spell branches might differ depending on your first pool; for example, a mage who does not use practical magic and does individual research would probably end up with a spell that a practical magic mage would not be able to use, because these spells were made by someone who manipulates mana in a different way. The same goes for practical magic.
A practical magic mage would enchant something by altering the mana of the object. For example, a mage might make something self-cleaning by causing its mana to act as a magnet to repel amounts of dirt, grease and grime.
A normal mage would enchant the object by doing something different; they would empower it with some energy from an elemental plane. To make an object self-cleaning, for example, they might use a bit of power from the Air plane to blow away dirt and grime.

Minor Enchantments (Simple Spells)
Minutiae
Casting time: 1 turn
Duration: Permanent
Effect: Similar to the Arcane spell “Prestidigitation”, this enchantment can create one of many small effects upon an object. These effects are; changing its colour, making it emit a slight glow, making it move from one point to another indefinitely (until its pathway is obstructed), or create an image on its surface.
Coin Detector
Casting time: 1 turn
Duration: Permanent
Effect: The object, when it comes near some form of currency (Whether it be in current use or not) will change colours. It changes to whatever colour the enchanter wishes upon its creation.
Bookmark
Casting time: 1 turn
Duration: Permanent
Effect: This spell only works on books. If the spell succeeds, an ink blot will appear on the cover. When someone (The person must have touched the ink blot on the cover for it to sort-of register them) says a page number in the book, it will automatically flip to that page.
Enticing Scent
Casting time: 1 turn
Duration: Permanent
Effect: This spell only works on inanimate objects. When cast, the spell makes the object smell like the person sniffing its favourite food. To one person it might smell like veal, to another it might smell like chocolate. However, the scent will keep the same potency as that of the original object; if the object enchanted has no scent whatsoever, this spell will have no effect.
Chef’s Special
Casting time: 1 turn
Duration: Permanent
Effect: This spell only works on sharp objects. The object, when inserted into a piece of non-living meat, will cook the meat as if it was cooked above a fire.
Purity
Casting time: 1 turn
Duration: Permanent
Effect: When the enchanted object is placed in polluted water, the water is purified for a 10 foot radius and is safe to drink or collect.
Major Enchantments (Complex Spells)
Animation
Casting time: 3 turns
Duration: 1 day
Pre-Requisites:Minutiae
Effect: The object in question will be able to move as if it was alive. This only works on non-combative objects, and they can only perform specific tasks. (If you were to ask a broom to just “sweep your house” it might be able to do that, but more often then not it’d probably just end up trying to sweep the roof, for example). This enchantment lasts for one day then the objects return to their non-sentient state. How vague one can be with this enchantment is entirely reliant on the skill of the enchanter.
Magnification
Casting time: 2 turns
Duration: 1 hour
Effect: The object (so long as it is made of a transparent substance, such as glass) can modify its magnification. If you were to tell it to magnify something to 9x its current magnification, you would see it as 9x magnified through that object.
Stinging Possession
Casting time: 1 turn
Duration: One year
Effect: This spell only works on inanimate objects. If someone (Excluding those designated by the enchanter at time of enchanting) touches the object, it will give them a minor (NOT ELECTRIC) shock. This can be avoided by wearing heavy clothing, such as leather. (Metal doesn’t work well due to the nature of the shock.)
Stick-to-Tent
Casting time: 2 turns
Duration: Until origin stick is removed
Effect: When used on a wooden object (So long as it is relatively small) the object, when put in the ground for one hour, will turn into a basic tent.

Necromancy & Shadow
Undead Sensory

Duration: Permanent
Effect:The enchanted object will glow brightly if an undead is near (Within a 100 foot radius). The closer the undead, the brighter it will glow.

Metal-to-Metal
Casting time: 2 turns

Heat Removal
Casting time: 1 turn
Duration: Permanent
Effect: The enchanter can now enchant an object so that it will always be cold as ice. In addition to that, when it is put against a flame, it will instantly extinguish it. (While this may not seem like a fire enchantment, it is the opposite; so, it is technically still a fire-related spell)
Water/Ice
Fountain
Casting time: 1 turn
Duration: Permanent
Effect: The enchanter can enchant an object capable of holding water (Such as a cup, beaker or canteen) so that it will always be near-full with pure, drinkable water.
