A'Deus:
:] OK lets try this, if you go by the principle that for an item to be
:]enchanted
:]that it requires some 'life force' of its only, as astrally active things are
:]considered entities in their own right on the astral plane. In the creation
:]of all major items the enchanter give up part of his/her life force (karma) to
:]endow the item with a life of its own. The point to note here is that for
:]creation of a fetish no karma is expended. As to the enchanting test I believe
:]that the concentration/specification to create fetishs is talismongering (from
:]enchanting, like spell casting is a subset of sorcery).
:]
:] How this, conversely what is your reasoning behind fetishes being astrally
:]active?

Obi Wan Garoni:
There's also the fact that you don't have to bond fetishes etc. In fact you
can't bond the little beggars, even if you wanted to.
