A spellbook of enchant armor allows you to learn the enchant armor 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 armor. 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.

Like its weapon-enchanting cousin, this spell is not generally that useful. Most non-casting roles can expect to have to cast the spell dozens of time before even getting one point of enchantment, consuming a large amount of food and turns in the process. Wizards might use it to save a few charges off their magic markers, although by the time they can cast the spell they are likely to have a good deal of their ascension kit together and enchanted already. Since the spell cannot give the effect of a blessed scroll, an actual scroll will generally be required for the final enchantment anyway.

This item does not exist in vanilla NetHack, but can be found in SLASH'EM and NetHack Plus.
