Enamels are one of the commodities used to make swords and mugs. When making swords, two colors of enamel are used to make each sword. The colors are chosen by the purchaser at the time the order is placed at the iron monger. The colors of enamel have a direct effect on the sword's drop pattern so great care is often given to color selection to optimize the effectiveness of the sword.
Enamels on mugs, however, are purely decorative and have no effect on the game play or usage of the mug. Enamels are also used in small quantities in certain types of furniture and clothing.
