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.

Enchanting Star recipe

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):

Compatibility

Scroll Fragments can have Ancient Tomes from Quark applied to them (configurable).
Enchant Scrolls and Scroll Fragments can display Enchantment Descriptions if provided by the mod of the same name or other mods.
Curses will be hidden if Sneaky Curses is installed, showing question marks for names and obfuscated text for descriptions.
Celestial Enchantments will show enchant types, descriptions, and formula descriptions
Should work with most mods that properly add Enchanted Books to villager trades (detected via VillagerTradesEvent)
There is a config option to prevent Enchanted Books from having any function in an Anvil
There is a config option to prevent Enchanted Books from working in the Enchanting Table (via setEnchantmentList mixin)
There is a config option to allow an Enchanted Book to be turned into an Enchant Scroll by right-clicking air with it
