'''Augmentation''' is not a skill itself, but is an important mechanic, with 4 different secondary Augmentation skills. It can be confusing at first, Augmentation as a mechanic involves breaking down Magic gear for materials, as well as Extracting or Adding specific mods on gear. There are 4 different types of Augmentation: Jewelry, Weapon, Armor, and Ancillary. Each one is a skill with levels and experience that breaks down different gear types, and each is leveled independently of each other. Details are listed below. While [[Transmutation]] lets you '''change''' the treasure effects (mods) on your gear, '''Augmentation''' lets you '''add''' one additional treasure effect (mod) to a piece of gear. With [[Transmutation]] you ''distill'' items into phlogiston and use a transmutation table to make changes. With Augmentation you ''decompose'' items into beads and baubles in order to extract a mod from one item and place it on a different item.

The next step of augmentation is applying the extracted mod to another item. The attachment skills are learned from [[Nightshade]] once you have sufficient favor. The recipes for attaching items fall under the lore skill-line. The recipe uses a reagent specific to the type of augment--a ring or neck augment requires an ectoplasm for example. You can apply only one augment to an item using the lore recipe. applying an augment to an item costs 100 points on the item, which is max points for normal loot items (120 for crafted). For additional enchanting options, please see [[Transmutation]].
