crystalize (or have someone else crystalize) a spell, preferably the one you want to be able to cast from the item ;)
witih that crystalized spell, right click and hit enchant right hand and poof!
now you use sap crystals to enchant the weapon. the numbers (mostly) explain themselves from there =D

some notes about enchantments: they are better than normal spells in several ways
-instant casting, you don't have any waiting time for the spell to take effect, so make a spell full of time credits and crystallize that ;)
-you can cast again once your weapon has completed one action (cast, hit, cast, hit, etc. )
-you can use enchantment crystals from spells you don't even have, if people are nice and give them to you =)
down-sides:
-the spell still takes, sap and/or hp, as if you were casting it normally, plus the sap it takes out of the weapon
-with slow weapons you have to wait until one strike is completed to cast again
-as far as i know you can't change the enchantment on a weapon
-making sap crystals is time-consuming and costs dappers

Some corrections:
You may change the enchantment on a weapon whenever you like.
Making sap crystals does not use dapper, it uses whatever you credit the spell with, usually "SAP" :P

It is much nicer when you have a higher level SAp crystal, they go up by 10 Sap every lvl. You can get Sap crystals from your friend with Sap Crystal 5. Also, Keep your create Sap crystal on your shortcut bar, and whenever you are standing around waiting for your group or something, create some.

I always forget though. Even in a group fight there is generally time to create them if u are not the puller.

Enjoy, and be safe.

i just tested after reading this, sap crystals seem to cost 1 dapper per 1 sap load. (a 50 sap crystal cost me 50 daps to make)
