+## Summary of Findings
+**Bug 15 Confirmed**: The `Essence Refining` skill and all `enchantPower` perks are NOT WORKING.
+
+### Root Cause
+1. `enchantPower` stat is set by skills/perks but never stored in `ComputedEffects`
+2. `enchantPower` multiplier is never applied to enchantment effects in `computeEquipmentEffects()`
+
+### Enchantment Type Compatibility
+| Category | Effect Type | Compatible with Essence Refining | Notes |
+|----------|-------------|----------------------------------|-------|
+| Spell | `spell` | NO | Grants spell access, no numeric values |
+| Mana | `bonus` | YES | +50 mana, +1 regen, etc. should be multiplied |
+| Combat | `bonus`, `multiplier` | YES | +5 damage, +10% damage, etc. should be scaled |
+| Elemental | `special` | PARTIAL | Special effects need separate handling |
+| Defense | (empty) | N/A | No effects defined |
+| Utility | `multiplier` | YES | +10% study speed, etc. should be scaled |
+| Special | `special`, `multiplier` | PARTIAL | `guardianDamage` can be scaled, pure specials cannot |
+
+### Files to Fix
+1. `/src/lib/game/upgrade-effects.ts` - Add `enchantPower` to `ComputedEffects` and handle in `computeEffects()`
+2. `/src/lib/game/effects.ts` - Apply `enchantPower` multiplier to equipment effects
+
+### Next Steps
+The findings have been documented in `essence_refining_findings.md`. A developer should implement the fix by:
+1. Adding `enchantPower: number` to `ComputedEffects` interface
+2. Handling `enchantPower` case in `computeEffects()` switch statement
+3. Applying `enchantPower` multiplier in `computeEquipmentEffects()`
 
 ## Notes
-(Add test results here)
+- Finding date: 2025-01-16
+- Bug verified by code inspection
+- No runtime testing needed - the code clearly doesn't apply the multiplier
