This is not fun at all, because there is no other reason than
balancing for this, the higher possibility for insane effects
for higher enchantment sum, is more fun in this case. 

This is a bit question of playing dynamics.

With fixed sum player goes and enchants items and then
found the top level. And that's it. Player is now at the
end of enchantments, ther is no direction up anymore.

With strange effects on high magic player can try to
enchant a bit more again, to make better item, and
try to manage the effects the higher magic summons.
