Soulbound Enchantment 💀✨

*An enchantment doesn't have to come from a book. This one has to be earned.* ⚔️

**Soulbound** lets your weapons, tools, and armor survive death — for a price, and only for those willing to fight for it. 🔥

How to Obtain 🗺️

There's no crafting table shortcut. Soulbound Crystals are earned, not built:

| Source | What you get |

|---|---|

| Any hostile mob kill ⚔️ | Tiny chance (0.4% / 0.2%) at Crystal I or II |

| Dungeon chests 📦 | Rare pull alongside vanilla loot |

| Wither / Ender Dragon 🐉 | Guaranteed drop — 50% Crystal II, 30% Crystal III, 20% both |

| Warden 👹 | Guaranteed Crystal III every time |

| Wandering Trader 🧙 | Sneak + interact to open a private deal: 32 Emeralds (Crystal I), 64 Emeralds (Crystal II), or 3 Wither Skulls (Crystal III) |

### Applying It ✨

Hold a crystal and use it — a menu opens showing everything you're wearing and carrying that qualifies (any tool, weapon, or armor piece). Pick your target, and the bond is sealed. 🔒

### The Bond Isn't Permanent ⚠️

Every Soulbound enchant now has **limited uses**:

- **Level I** 🔹 — 3 uses

- **Level II** 🔷 — 5 uses

- **Level III** 💠 — 8 uses

A use is only spent when the enchant *actually* saves your item on death — a failed roll costs nothing, since that item was already gone either way. 🎲 Lore on the item shows your remaining durability as a percentage, color-coded like a tool's durability bar (🟢 → 🟡 → 🔴).

Run out of uses and the bond **shatters** 💔 — the item stops protecting you, marked `BROKEN` in its lore. It's not dead forever, though: re-enchanting a broken item with *any* crystal fully restores it 🔧, at that crystal's level.

### On Death ☠️

Roll the dice per soulbound item based on its level (30% / 60% / 90% survival chance). Anything that beats the odds waits for you at respawn 🌟 — however far away, whatever dimension — instead of rotting on the ground.
