What about enchanted chess sets? What kind of games are available?

First of all, I'd like to apologize to you, Stone Gargoyle, not only for taking so damned long to reply, but also to tell you that, despite having taken so long to do so, I STILL have not been able to piece together a feasible enchanted chess set. I dunno what it is, but I get started at it and then it starts running off into some kind of way overpowered, nation building/destroying artifact of some kind at I just :frust: :mad: :? :eek: :badbad: :frazz: :nh: I'm sorry. However, I will at least keep trying to put something together that doesn't spiral out of control.

Until then, I have come up with this one thing....

Self-Donning Armor
That's right, the most ancient of problems has been solved! No longer do we have to take precious minutes, or even seconds, to enjoy the security and protection our armor provides. Now, with this simple, efficient enchantment one can put on even a full set of Dwarven Plate armor faster than an enraged Ogre Barbarian can cleave a Goblin in twain. With but a thought, and the expenditure of a single melee action your armor will magically appear on your body, fully buckled, strapped, snapped, tied and otherwise properly secured to your body and battle ready.
Now for the bad news. First, for the purposes of enchantment limits, this enchantment counts as 2 of the 4 enchantments that can be placed on armor.
Second, the armor must be mystically bonded to its owner using a 24 hour ritual that involves the owner smearing a drop of blood somewhere onto the armor and then remaining within a ritual circle surrounded by incense, candles and other magic stuff with the armor for a full day and night. During that time the armor's owner will experience some pretty vivid hallucinations, wracked with painful spasms and fits as they permanently sacrifice 5 of their own SDC. At the completion of the ritual, the owner will wake up from a deep sleep wearing the newly bonded armor. From that point on, it will function as described.
Third, though not really much of a bad thing, or even really a side effect for that matter.... but the armor still has to be removed normally. It teleports onto you... but not off of you.
Now you may be asking yourself, 'What might this wondrous enchantment cost me?' Well, I'll be happy to tell you, but before I do... how would you like to hear about a few other.... options?
Sure, lions and tigers are stronger...
But I've never seen a wolf jump through hoops in a circus

Self-Donning Armor sounds terrifying, actually. And sacrificing so much just to enact the spell... just doesn't seem worth it. That's what squires are for. Speaking of squires, would you be able to create some sort of magical equivalent, such as an enchanted doll servant or some such?
