Item or enchanted book on the left, empty books on the right. Tick what to pull off; the rest stays. One book packs several ticks together; matching the tick count splits one enchantment per book.

Enchantment Workbench
Pull enchantments off, copy them on, or evoke new ones — without spending XP.
Why it exists
A bench that treats enchantments as work you pay for in materials — not a second enchanting table, and not an anvil with extra steps. Three jobs, one at a time: Extract, Transcribe, and Evoca. The room around the bench decides what it is allowed to do. Evoca is where enchantments are born; Extract and Transcribe still work on ones that already exist.
What it does
Place the Enchantment Workbench and open a vanilla-style screen. Three tabs, one job at a time. Evoca is the azure tab so it does not look like the other two. Tick the enchantments you want; a short furnace-style arrow runs, then the job completes. Close the screen, change the selection, or pull the materials out mid-arrow and it cancels. A ? button opens a short in-game guide. The bench is not a chest: when you close it, everything inside goes back to you.
Move ticked enchantments onto an empty book, an enchanted book, or an item. Copy keeps the source books and costs a gold ingot. Fuse combines two matching copies one level — one jump only — and needs lit candles on all four corners.
Empty book plus reagents: two or three offers appear before you click — one enchantment each. Pay the selected offer and you get one enchanted book. XP levels are a ceiling, not a cost. Then Transcribe that book onto an item if you want.
Bookshelves set the highest tier (0–15). A soul lantern two blocks above the bench opens treasure and curses. Four lit corner candles open Fuse. The room never discounts reagents, and nothing around the bench is consumed.
How it fits
Vanilla enchanting table and anvil stay as they are. No XP is spent or refunded. Creative mode still pays the material cost. Costs scale with tier and job, and a datapack can override any enchantment’s profile without a mod update. ECHO can be read by the bench if both mods are installed; neither depends on the other.
