If you can get MP to work right (cause right now I don't even need it to do anything), then a Manashield and Souldrainer item would be interesting.
Manaburning: +100 Offense, -200 Mana, 2000 gp
Manashielding: +100 Defense, -200 Mana, 2000 gp
Vampiric Bloodlust: +100 Offense, -100 Health, 2000 gp
Necromantic Warding: +100 Defense, -100 Health, 2000 gp
Manaburning: +100 Offense, -200 Mana, 2000 gp
Manashielding: +100 Defense, -200 Mana, 2000 gp

Morrus said:I have the fix for the MP bug - just need to get home so I can apply it. Typing this from a tent on my mobile phone - went camping.
Great. Also, just a suggestion, but I think you should consider capes and cloaks to be items with no bonus to anything, but they can be magically enhanced. Maybe some of them could give bonuses (Wizard's Robes, Robes of the Archmagi), but I still think some items with a +0 bonus and a cool name would be neat.
That way you could have your "Silver Ankh" for 10 or 20, and at a higher level enchant it to be your "Silver Ankh of Fortitude."
Also, I havn't tested this yet, but it "looks" like you can enchant potions, which is just wrong.

Some additional pestering for when you get home Morrus, what do you think caused the Speed enchantment on my ring to disappear? Did you edit the ring's stats or anything that would have caused the enchantment to disappear?
OK, so you deleted the Speed Enhancement. Makes sense. Here are some options for the enhancements that I think would work, and round out the list thoroughly:

For those numbers I used the formula of |HP or MP|^1.75 and |Strength or Defense|^2 as the base. For items with negative enchantments you put a negative in front of the ||. For items with multiple positive enchantments, the lesser enchantments cost is doubled.
So, if you wanted a +100 all stats item it would be 4*100^1.75 + 3*100^1.75 + 2*100^2 + 1*100^2 = 52135.94 (or 52000 rounded off).
I think this works fairly well for generating numbers since you reduce the value point for point of HP and MP. That isn't to say they are less valuable, because I think that HP and MP enchantments should be difficult to come by without a sacrifice of some kind, but they are on a point scale going to amount to less since you still have to pay to use extra hit points. In other words, HP and MP bonuses should be rare or costly, but Hit Points are certainly not the most economic or best single investment so they shouldn't be given the same ratings.
I also like the numbers I came up with.
On to monsters now:
Wraiths in their current form are about level 8 or 10, and should only pay 50 gold I think. Orcs should lose some strength (bring it down to 75 I suppose) and should be about level 5 then. Trolls in their current form are approximately level 25 I'd bet, if not a slight edge higher. Dragons and such are still too far off for me to predict, but I'd bet that a Death Knight is somewhere between levels 30 and 45 (big range I realize) right now, and they will be lethal... in order to fight them simply to experience you'd need to have around 1200 hit points just to have a good chance of surviving against one for 5 or 6 rounds.
