  Is any of the stuff you're using in your overflow bag, perchance? That'll automatically cause upgrades to fail.

  No, I upgraded some radiants before this, all from 6 to 7, all took 2-5 tries. I did character change, exited and reentered the game, unslotted the enchantment... I did something like that after each 7-10 consecutive fails. This is my first experience upgrading this kind of enchantment, and if this is just an accident and a case of "you had a bad luck man", well, to say I'm disappointed is like saying nothing.

  I upgraded mine from 6 to 7. Took 3 tries (2 failed, 3rd succeeded).
  
  Very very bad luck i guess...

  OTOH I actually succeeded in the 1% chance upgrade from R7 to R8 with a Dark enchantment. Just slapped on a Preservation ward, and thought "Meh, *** it." and pressed the upgrade button and bam. It worked.
  
  
  Sometime luck just does that to ya;

  Stop making excuses. Be a man.
  If you know something to be broken, stop using it.
  Otherwise, you've got no right to be speaking of 'balance.'

  Upgrade from R7 to R8 has a 25% chance of success. The only upgrades with 1% of chance are weapon/armor enhancements, not enchantments.

  The RNG is very unkind sometimes in Neverwinter. I have had 5 or 6 failures at 60% a few times, had a mate that failed 20 times at 40% before succeeding. One of the areas that could use a slight revision.

  Most definitely unkind RNG. I have made 2 rank 8 Brutals without an issue.

  Hooray for terrible fail rates!
  
  Fail rates are how most F2P MMOs make their money. (I'm lookin' at you, Runes of Magic)
