Introducing a revamp to the enchanting system, Enchant Scrolls!

Enchant Scrolls

• By default, it replaces Enchanted Books in loot and villager trades.
• Similar to Enchanted Books in the way that they contain enchantments you can apply to items.
• To enchant, use with an item in your off-hand
• While an Anvil is no longer required, applying Magic Powder to the target item is now required (configurable).
• Each enchant only has a chance of succeeding, determined by the rank and rarity, if it is a treasure enchant, tradeable from villagers, a curse, and by the level of the enchant (rates configurable)
• The results of each enchant on a scroll can differ; some may apply, and some may fail.
• The level applied by the enchant is also not entirely guaranteed, but is also rolled, and can be influenced by other things, such as enchantability and the Enchanting Star.
• When succeeding, there is a 20% chance (configurable) for a Critical Success, causing the applied level of the enchant to match the level on the scroll, and on top of that, there is a 20% chance again (configurable) for the enchant to be applied one level higher, exceeding the vanilla maximum (configurable).
• While failing, the item being enchanted will lose durability, and if there is a Huge Failure (10%) (configurable), the item may lose max durability as well.

Magic Powders

• By default, Magic Powders must be applied to an item to allow enchanting
• The recipe shipped with the mod is designed to be simple while maintaining a dependency on Lapis Lazuli, but also requires less commonly used resources such as Coal, Redstone, and Quartz.
• 
• There are upgrades to different tiers of Magic Powders, which increase the success rate of enchanting, including a flat bonus and a base multiplier (configurable).
• Basic Magic Powders can be upgraded to higher tiers, from Basic to Blessed, to Elite, and then Ancient.
• Currently, the basic Magic Powders include:
  • Magic Powder (Basic): 0% flat bonus, 0% base multiplier
  • Magic Powder (Blessed): +1% flat bonus, +10% base multiplier 
  • Magic Powder (Elite): +2% flat bonus, +15% base multiplier
  • Magic Powder (Ancient): +5% flat bonus, +20% base multiplier

• Magic Powder (Ancient) can be upgraded into advanced tiers, each with unique recipes, including:
  
  • Magic Powder (Harmonious): +0% flat bonus, +50% base multiplier
  • Magic Powder (Corrupt): +15%  flat bonus, -50% base multiplier
  • Magic Powder (Scorched): -20% flat bonus, +80% base multiplier
  • Magic Powder (Divine): +20% flat bonus, +50% base multiplier

*All rates for Magic Powders are configurable

Enchanting Stars

• After defeating the Wither and acquiring a Nether Star, you can begin crafting Enchanting Stars.
• All Enchanting Star variants are crafted from the base Enchanting Star.

• Currently, the existing Enchanting Stars are:
• Enchanting Star:
  • Used to craft other stars.
  • Positively influences enchanting by multiplying an item's enchantability influence on level application when in the main inventory, at the cost of Charges.
  • Has a charge amount of 100 (configurable) that can be recharged with Lapis Lazuli in an Anvil.
• Enchanting Star (Absorption):
  • Used to remove curses from an enchanted item in the off-hand
• Enchanting Star (Voiding):
  • Used to remove all enchants from an item in the off-hand
• Enchanting Star (Protection):
  • While kept in the main inventory, if any enchant fails to apply, enchanting is cancelled, and nothing is lost.
• Enchanting Star (Recovery):
  • Used to restore max durability and re-enable enchanting for an item in the off-hand

Scroll Fragments

• Acquired from loot, when an Enchant Scroll has only one enchant, there is a high probability it spawns as a Scroll Fragment (configurable).
• Can also be acquired from Catalyst - Protego Magnum/Maximum/Ultimum
• Used to craft Enchant Scrolls
• Combine: Use with another fragment in Anvil to fuse, costs: Total Levels + # of Enchants x 2
• Form: Use with any Leather in Anvil to form an Enchant Scroll, costs: 5 + Total Levels + # Enchants

Catalysts

• While fully functional, they are not currently obtainable via crafting or loot.
• These items work similarly to Magic Powder in that they are applied to an item, the Enchant Scrolls themselves.
• Catalysts come in several forms, with 4 tiers each that possess differing qualities and/or effects.
• Currently, there are seven forms of Catalysts, with the tiers "Primum" (first), "Magnum" (great), "Maximum" (greatest), and "Ultimum" (ultimate/extreme):
