Description: This spell allows you to enhance your weapon through a word of power, inflicting an extra effect on the next target that you hit. You determine the enhancement when casting the spell, and the weapon remains charged until the spell expires or until you land a successful melee hit. After hitting, the enhancement is gone, but in some variations the effect remains until the spell expires
