So I'm new to enchanting, and while I've read the relevant wiki pages and I think I understand the process/requirements, I appear to still be doing something wrong.
I'm trying to enchant 'a perfect ora footman's hammer' (a maul) that I bought from a player shop 9 or so years ago. I'm looking to take it to 3x or even 4x to start with.
I verified that it is a 2x enchant (consistent with the innate ora bonus) via swinging it with my THW-trained warrior and comparing the AS to that character's primary, known-enchant weapon (a 1x claid).

I'm in an enchanting workshop (FWI Wizard Guild:
You study your surroundings and use your keen knowledge of the arcane. It quickly becomes evident that this room is a strong magical workshop.
You sense that you have accumulated enough essence to complete a +50 enchantment.
I have my familiar summoned.
>look hammer
You notice a small enchanter's glyph and XXXXXXX's crafting mark.
>prep 405
You gesture and invoke the powers of the elements for the Elemental Detection spell...
Your spell is ready.
>cast my hammer
You gesture at a perfect ora footman's hammer.
The underlying patterns of essence within the footman's hammer indicate that it has been enchanted. You recognize the vibrant green aura surrounding it as indicating a moderate level of enchantment.
The footman's hammer seems to have been prepared for enchanting, and may be enchanted up to a bonus of 20.
>prep 925
>cast my hammer
You trace a series of glowing runes while chanting the phrase for Enchant Item...
Your spell is ready.
You gesture at a perfect ora footman's hammer.
You sense that the footman's hammer already bears an enchantment and that you can only fail to enchant it if you are horribly unlucky.
You will need to prepare the footman's hammer with an appropriate potion to enchant it any further.
[CHANNEL this spell at the footman's hammer if you would like to proceed with this enchantment attempt.]
You remove an undiluted green ayan'eth potion from in your mithril-clasped cloak.
You pour some of your green ayan'eth potion onto a perfect ora footman's hammer. The liquid quickly and easily coats the entire surface of the hammer but after several moments it dries and the residue quickly flakes away.
(I assume the above is some sort of message indicating a problem, but I'm not sure what, exactly. I just had a bless dispelled from the hammer, so that can't be it.)

You channel at a perfect ora footman's hammer.

Am I missing something obvious? Perhaps my training isn't sufficient? (I know my overall training is a bit wonky, especially the lore - I have one fixskills if necessary, so any tips are appreciated.)
