 Since many [[:Category: Hero |Hero]] level gear is [[Anti-Good Flag |Anti-Good]] by default, fading is a practical requirement for use (except for [[:Category: Shadowfists |Shadowfist]] and [[:Category: Sorcerers |Sorcerer]] characters who have practiced [[Demonic Intent |Demonic Intent]], who in turn would need items that load [[Anti-Evil Flag |Anti-Evil]] to be faded prior to their use.
-Items with the [[Magic Flag|magic flag]] need to be faded prior to being [[Transmute |transmuted]]. This most commonly happens when one wants to dual-wield the same weapon, but lacks the rogue skills [[Balance |balance]] and [[Poise |poise]]. With the magic flag removed, an item can be transmuted lighter or heavier to be used in the offhand or main wield slot, respectively.

This most commonly happens when one wants to dual-wield the same weapon, but lacks the rogue skills [[Balance |balance]] and [[Poise |poise]]. With the magic flag removed, an item can be transmuted lighter or heavier to be used in the offhand or main wield slot, respectively. Remember that transmuting an item will raise its level by 1 or 2 levels.
 Since fading is a random result of the enchant spells, very often an item can be rendered unusable in the process of trying to fade it. For instance, an item that loads [[Anti-Good Flag|Anti-Good]] can receive the [[Anti-Evil Flag |Anti-Evil flag]] and the [[Anti-Neutral Flag |Anti-Neutral flag]] when a good aligned caster "successfully" enchants the weapon. Since both successfully enchanting and fading add a level to the item, an item which still hasn't faded at level 54 (for [[:Category: Hero Gear |hero armor]]) or level 56 (for [[:Category: Hero Gear |hero weapons]]) must either be [[Harmonizing |harmed]] or scrapped.
