Appearance
Although there are those that are heavily ornate, encrusted with jewels and carvings most are made to be used and not to draw attention. [1]
Creation
Techniques for creating binding enchantments change from item to item and even a pair of swords created by the same weaponsmith require different enchantments. This is why Dwarf Runes are regarded with such respect and curiosty in the Empire and what has also led to some wizards seeking the forbidden knowledge of rune-mastery. [1]
Its rare for a enchanter to devise a stable way to make a particular type of item and it is virtually impossible for them to communicate the exact method to another. To replicate anothers work, they must duplicate the mindset and style of the wizard whilst also following the Magical Law of Sympathy. [1]
