Materialist Enchantment

Materialist is an new alternative to Mending for the early to midgame. When a player is wearing or holding an item with the Materialist Enchant, and they touch an XP Orb, the XP is used to decrease the"prior repair cost" of the enchanted item. If a player has Materialist on their equipment, and it is damaged, they can just get xp, then go to an anvil and combine their damaged stuff with repair materials. Because Mending is superior to Materialist, Materialist would be more common, available from the enchanting table, and commonly on loot in chests in overworld dungeons.
