Ascendant Arcana Mod replaces random vanilla enchanting with recipe-based mechanics and brings dozens of specialized modifiers for weapons, armor, and tools. Players unlock enchanting earlier in survival using copper tables, while high-tier options need Chiseled Bookshelves and power. The mod also introduces Relics and Magical Scrap to upgrade gear without relying on luck.
