[PnP] Enhancement

[Wout Broere]

Can be something that orifginated from our group. The 1D6 rites known is 
a houserule to limit the strength of enhancement we have used, so it 
will be in the 1.3 set of books, which includes our houserules as well.

The 2D6 for shamans then is Richards touch. Nice one.

We always played that if you could find someone to teach you the rites, 
or find a book describing them, you could use them. No new spell to 
learn or something like that. But finding new rites was hard, not many 
people were willing to part with that kind of knowledge.

But my question is does one need a NEW enhancement spell to learn 1-6 more or how much is a "rite".  Can a mage go to a herbalist store and ask the rite for a Diamond from a old guy?  The cost isn't clear.
