The Skill Enchanting is the magical augmentation of existing devices and weapons to imbue them with magical properties. If you replace the term "shrubber" with "enchanter", you have a halved Monty Python skit.

Tips For Leveling Enchanting

This works best at College of Winterhold. Buy any weapons or armor and any Soul Gems at the Destruction trainer at the College, enchant the weapons or armor and sell them again; repeat process. If done correctly you will imporove enchanting and make some profit, when you level up visit the enchanter trainer and train 5 levels. Afterwards, you only have to enchant a couple of weapons before leveling up again. Repeat.

Enchanting is key to building your gold stash, and makes adventuring much easier, adding sometimes massive damage to normally mediocre weapons, allowing you to explore watery depths at length, withstand the fury of a Dragon's Thu'um, increase the base damage of melee and ranged weapons, or increase the rate at which health or Magika regenerate. At higher levels, entire cave systems will be fun to clear out, rather than a chore.

You can use enchanting to give yourself infinite Magicka -

Tips for leveling your Enchanting skill can also be found on the Enchantments page.
