[@IcePezz] Yes, that is pretty much what you would need to do to enhance items in the same manner. And that is not his only weakness. His "only" weakness is that he is only outfitted for killing mages, witches, and the like. If you send anything else at him, he's about as useful as a regular soldier. He'd be like a Vampire Hunter fighting werewolves. But, if it calms your worries the armor can just be regular armor as long as the sword and shield keep their abilities. Also, the 5 years would affect my character,  no? It's kinda hard to become a master in 5 years.
