How to remove Charms in Minecraft

In Minecraft , Charms make weapons, armor, and tools stronger. But not all Charms are useful. If you accidentally load the wrong charm or want to refresh your equipment, you can completely delete the Charm to reuse the item.

 

The simplest and most canonical way in the game to remove spells is to use a Grindstone — fully supported on both Java and Bedrock.
