Enchantments are a new combat-related mechanic introduced in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt expansion Hearts of Stone. The Runewright can enhance your items by fitting them with Runewords and Glyphwords - these endow them with new, powerful traits. Runewords enhance weapons, while Glyphwords enhance armor.
To enchant an item, navigate to the Runewright panel.
