i dont know how they work says it has 0 energy so does energy come back?

its simple, when you find an active Leyline (it will have a glowing substance in the center of it) and when you view the tooltip it will tell you how much energy that Leyline has left. you will also notice that the energy continuously drops, you have a time limit in which to enchant an item.

some items take longer than others so make sure that theres at least 4k energy left on it, this part isn't necessary but it will help you learn how much energy certain tiers (uncommon, rare etc.) require in order to finish the enchanting process.

your best bet is to set up a small camp near one of the Leylines and just wait for it to be active, that way you ensure that it will have the max amount of energy when you start to enchant. i know waiting sucks (lol we do enough of that taming) but theres other things you can be doing in the meantime ... maybe set up an "enchanting station" in a small hut, that way you'll have everything you need nearby.
