Because of the way the enchanting system works, once you've put some bookshelves near your Enchantment Table to increase its enchanting power, you can't use it for lower-level enchantments anymore. You can work around this by just picking up the Enchantment Table and moving it somewhere else, but I'd rather be able to have multiple Enchantment Tables for low, mid, and high-level enchantments. Since Enchantment Tables require 2 diamonds to make, though, that's pretty wasteful.
So I'd like to offer a simple solution: make it possible to make more Enchantment Tables at existing Enchantment Tables by enchanting a block of obsidian. I can't see how this would be overpowered.
I do not follow the logic of this suggestion.
If it's so wasteful just pick up your enchantment table and move it, it really is not that hard.
Also, I don't usually use these, but there are actually redstone/piston made enchantment areas that allow you to select what type of enchanting you want to do(low, med, high). They aren't actually that hard to make.

Kingdoms rise and fall. Just don't burn the paintings in the Louvre, that's all.
Do you think you guys could discuss my suggestion, instead of giving me play advice?
They are discussing it. Their discussion just says it's pointless. And it is.
Craft more enchantment tables if you want them. Nobody's going to dumb down the game just to suit your desire to put in no effort...Well, except maybe Notch who did so various times, but he's not working on Minecraft anymore.

They're saying it's pointless because there's a less desirable workaround available. All of them have pitfalls. Building more tables requires extremely rare items. Constructing a lever-operated, redsone and piston-powered bookshelf moving system is time-consuming, difficult, and takes up a lot of space. Moving your existing table is annoying and leaves the spot less aesthetically pleasing when you're not enchanting. Putting torches on your bookshelves is probably a bug as well as being exactly as annoying. My suggestion is none of these things.

Boo-mother****ing-hoo. I realize actually crafting what you need is a severely disturbing concept to your kind but that's how the game is played so you've got two choices: Play the game, or don't. If you don't, that's fine, but then you needn't be on a forum about the game.
That's why you craft an enchantment table.Here's an idea. Since diamonds are so hard to find, how about the ability to clone diamonds by enchanting them? Yeah!
I can't tell if you're really that dumb, or intentionally missing the difference. Since I'm a firm believer in Hanlon's Razor, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and explain it. Having multiple enchantment tables confers no actual benefit other than being more convenient. Being able to clone diamonds would mean that once you've found 3 diamonds, you can easily make an infinite amount of diamond equipment, which defeats the purpose of diamonds rarity.

The original idea is bad for two main reasons:
Why would you want lower enchantments in the first place and
It's solvable by using pistons, torches, making new tables, or just picking up your old one. The redstone circuit is not hard to make, and unless you're using the space below your floor doesn't take up and visible space. Torches don't have to be unsightly if you build it properly. It may be expensive to build new tables, but that's the point; so you actually have to work to get your enchantments. Your argument about picking up the old one is not good. "It looks bad?" What the hell? It just makes it look like a library instead of an enchanting room, that's it. Doesn't make it look any worse than changing your clock an hour forward makes you time travel. If you built it decently instead of just slapping bookcases everywhere, it should look perfectly fine when you move the table.
the next update fixes this, a table will always give a range of levels one that's near the top of it's range, one near the bottom, and one somewhere in the middle.
