Is there an enchantment that gives medium armor the movement of light armor? What does it cost?

Easy.
Halfweight enchantment. +3 equivalent armour quality (+2 if you have the equivalent Illithidwrought quality as well. this is +2 as well).
Halves the weight of any armour, makes any armour light armour.
It's in the FR Underdark supplement.
Or mithril. For a medium armour, it sets you back 4000gp on top of the armour's base cose (and you don't necessarily have to enchant it first)
A half-weight armour is at minimum 16,150 on top of the base armour (including masterwork cost).

Yarg. The armor is already running ~4000 gp (crystal wrought breastplate) and the limit is 9000 gp.
Hmm. I've been running my player's characters pretty poor, ~20% character wealth. They've just hit the jackpot and are getting all of their old crap turned in for some new hotness. Their patron is going to surprise them with it as they have been incredibly loyal to him. They have just reached 7th level, so they are going from ~ 3000 gp of stuff to about 18k each!
I may have to just make the medium armor mithral instead of crystal. (The party brought back to their patron a couple wagonloads of high quality enchantable crystal / gems).
So a breastplate (200 gp) made out of mithral (+4000 gp) that is also +2 (+4000 gp) can have about 800 gp worth of scrollwork and inlay; 9000 gp total price, +7 AC, counts a light.
That will work. I can work the crystal theme into other items.

Yeah, I usually do just handwave it. Sometimes, however, a designer thinks that some power or effect is far more valuable than I expect. Since I'm not as good as some in figuring out what's broken or extreme it's nice to see what some effects are valued at.
