Before Invokers and Transmuters were revamped into being barely recognizable as what they were: Invokers had enchant weapon and enchant armor, while Transmuters had create wand and recharge. (and I think something to create staves too)

While no PC has these spells now, I knew of at least one of the enchant spells that still existed in an item until an area revamp a few months ago. I don't know if it's still there now.

Personally, I'd love the idea of enchanters being around. There's only one reason I never try to promote it: It's nice to be able to just pick up and lore or identify things and know what the base armor, damage, and to hit ratings are without them having been tampered with.
