Ancient,
There is enchanting in Scions, it's mentioned just under Supernatural Abilities I think. Enchanting works at tier 2 of any kind of magic, and the enchantments can be applies to items, weapons, shields, mounts, and so on.
Alchemy was something I thought about, but decided not to bother. Alchemy, historically, was just trying to transform metal into gold, but the modern fantasy view of alchemy is the creation of weird potions and stuff, but I consider that closer to wizardry or witchcraft in a medieval sense (speaking of which, I should mention those). Additionally, since gunpowder already exists, I felt no need for alchemy; why make an exploding potion when you already have cannons, clay grenades (there are 13th century European manuscripts depicting knights throwing grenades; the Byzantines, various Middle Eastern peoples, and East Asian peoples also have bombs but at a earlier time), and gunpowder-based explosions already. I will mention alchemy soon in the generic magics section.
Delta,
Yes, it seems that that sudden explosion of spam way back is slowly dying. Personally, I think mods should be able to outright remove threads, as if they already dropped off the forum completely.
