"Nah, I don't really have the funds to do it right. As much as I would want my axes to engulf my foes in flames. I would want to do it right in a sense if using powerful soul gems and a powerful enchantment. Plus, don't you need special tools to repair it physically? I know some blacksmiths here sell them, but I don't think they actually know how to repair them." Frogar shook his head when she made the offer.

Frogar wanted to save up money to maybe get his family out of Skyrim. Pay for whatever fees would be required to get out of here so his family wouldn't be affected by the war. But he knew that they would rather die than find someplace safe, it was just a chance that maybe they would use critical thinking for once in their damn lives.

'Okay, so he gets the concept of maintenance. This is good. And if he understands physical stuff, then I can work with it' she thinks silently.

She then adjusts her position in her seat, leans forward, and begins to speak.

"Actually, maintenance on an enchantment is like maintenance on any weapon, but more along the lines of swords and axes. If you have a weak enchantment, say like a burning enchantment that was cast with a filled petty soul gem, then you only get about three blows out of the weapon before you have to scrub your weapon with a filled gem. It's almost like sharpening a blade. Depending on the quality and type of blade, you're sitting there having to sharpen it to give it somewhat of a usable edge, as is the case with most iron weapons. Same thing with weak enchantments. You don't get many charges, and you have to refill it constantly after three to four strikes landed. Make sense so far?"

Frogar had to count fingers, but gave a nod.


"I think yeah... So basically the bigger the gem the more powerful the enchantment and the longer is lasts." Frogar reiterated to make sure he was on the right track.
