Enchanting your own magic item takes almost as much time and effort as rescuing one from an old kaer and finding out what makes it hum, but making it yourself is a bit less dangerous than adventuring. I suppose you didn't know you could design your own spells either, or travel to the netherworlds? Are you sure you didn't exaggerate about how long you've been studying your Discipline?
