In the past, if you wanted to cast a positive or negative enchantment on any weapon or shield that was being wielded by a player or creature, you needed to target it specifically. This could be challenging in the heat of combat.
We have made a change to Item Magic to improve this. Characters and monsters are now acceptable targets for Item Magic spells, and the spells will affect a shield, weapon, or casting item wielded by the target.
For example, casting Blood Drinker on a player will affect his or her weapon. Casting Hermetic Link will affect his or her orb, staff, or wand. Casting Brittlemail on a creature will affect its shield.
Please note that this does not allow you to cast spells on the armor or clothing worn by a player or creature, nor does it change the existing NPK/PK/PKL rules for casting on wielded items.
