Applying enchantments is pretty liberal. However, there are some rules you need to keep in mind. First,no two pieces of gear can share an enchantment. You mustremove it from oneto apply it to the other.

The second rule is thatenchantments must be two different types.For example, you can’t havetwo Necrotic enchantments. One must be different, such as Fire Damage or Ice Resistance.

In most cases, weapons and gear can take two enhancement slots. you’re able to have+10 Armor Damage and a +20 Weapon Damageenhancement on your main weapon. So there’s room to experiment with what works and what doesn’t.

These two enchantments work in sync with each other;one penetrates armor at a faster rate, while the othermakes the weapon pack more of a punch. By allowing two enhancements to complement each other, you may make combat a lot more active.
