A '''spellbook of enchant weapon''' allows you to learn the enchant weapon spell. The spell is a level 7 Enchantment spell. Casting the spell has a chance based on skill level of acting as an uncursed [[scroll of enchant weapon]]. The chances of success are 1 in 8 at Expert, 1 in 10 at Skilled, 1 in 12 at Basic, and 1 in 14 at Unskilled or Restricted.

Being a level 7 spell, enchant weapon will be difficult to master for most characters. However, it can prove very useful, either for a non magic-based player to increase the enchantment on primary weapons (though this may take some time, since the failure rate will be very high) or for a magic-based player to enchant fallback physical weaponry. For any role, however, it is helpful for identifying weapons, since cursed weapons can be uncursed with this spell.

The spellbook of enchant weapon does not exist in vanilla NetHack, but can be found in SLASH'EM and also in NetHack Plus and SlashTHEM.

The spellbook allows you to learn the enchant weapon spell. The spell is a level 7 Enchantment spell. Casting the spell has a chance based on skill level of acting as an uncursed scroll of enchant weapon. The chances of success are 1 in 8 at Expert, 1 in 10 at Skilled, 1 in 12 at Basic, and 1 in 14 at Unskilled or Restricted.

Strategy

This spell has too high a level, and too high a failure rate even when cast successfully, to be useful for most characters. Non-wizards will find the spell hunger to be fairly costly, not to mention the time spent recovering their power. Moreover, the spell cannot give the effect of a blessed scroll.

Only wizards might consider using the spell to save themselves a few charges on their magic markers. And since wizards rely on spells instead of weapons, the real advantage is even smaller.

However, this spell, is probably useful for players attempting conducts.
