Folks, what does "heavily enscorceled" mean? O.o Not even the online Dictionary or Thesaurus can explain the word "enscorceled" to me. In the book, it's used in relation to a battle-axe.

Under a spell (betwitched).

Aha, so it's a spelling mistake? It should have been "ensorceled" and not "enscorceled"? Because in the book, it's really with a C, as enscorceled.

Enscorceled, from sorcery, under a spell, having enchantment laid upon it. Might be a misspelling, trouble with partly madeup fantasy words is every author spells them differently.

That would be my guess. It makes sense given the context of the sentence, right?

Aha! I thought that there must be something funky about it when I couldn't find a definition on the net. Thank you :)
