Enchantment

From Magic: The Gathering

Enchantment is one of the card type in Magic: the Gathering. Enchantments are magic effects that have a permanent effect on the game. There are two types of enchantments: Global enchantments and local enchantments.

[edit] Global Enchantments

Global enchantments are akin to Artifacts. They are played, come into play and from then on have a permanent effect on the game. Global enchantments can have any effect at all, ranging from giving all of your creatures +1/+1 to giving you the ability to draw a card in exchange for life.

[edit] Enchant World

Enchant world cards are mostly like other global enchantments but have the property that only one of them can be in play at any one time. The thought here was that this enchantment would bend the laws of physics for the particular world where you are fighting. Enchant world cards have not been made since the set Visions.

[edit] Local Enchantments

Local enchantments are any enchantments that have the Aura subtype. Any aura specifies what kind of target it has (creature, land etc.).
