No where in the DDO multiverse does any description state that this affects a casters weapons.

What exactly does the spell do other than give a +1 to hit and a +1 to damage?

I have been playing my Arty since the class was introduced, and only one time have I ever had a caster ask for the buff.

What exactly is the effect to caster's weapons?

Thanks in advance.

Casters are affected by spell power. Each +1 to a weapon adds 3 spell power. This buffs adds +1. It's not much, but when you're hitting for 1000s that 3 SP starts to add up.

The implement bonus is equal to 3 * enhancement bonus of the weapon, e.g. a +4 weapon grants a +12 implement bonus to spell power. Effects that increase enhancement bonus of a weapon, e.g. Artificer infusion Enchant Weapons, also properly increases the implement bonus. (qtd from wiki)

http://ddowiki.com/page/Enchant_Weapons

Increases the Enhancement Bonus of your target's currently equipped weapons or shields by 1. An item can have only one temporary item enchantment at a time.

NOTE: Casting this spell on a weapon with a Spellcasting Implement bonus to Spell Power increases that bonus by 3, since the implement bonus is calculated from the enhancement bonus of the item. (qtd. from wiki)
