Enchanting

Apply the enchanted book to an elytra on an anvil. Color trails are mutually exclusive (only one color can exist at a time); Large Trail and Multi-Trail can coexist with a color trail.

💡 Higher-level Multi-Trail books: combine two books of the same level on an anvil (I+I→II, II+II→III, ...); higher levels (up to 255) can be obtained via commands.
