Open up your skill tree.
Select the Skill Assignment option on the bottom right of your screen.
At the bottom, you’ll see enchantments with at least 1 empty slot towards the left.
With your mouse, click-drag your skill choice toward it to imbue it with the enchantment effects.

How I Used Enchantment Slots

Enchantment slots are perfect for buffing abilities, be they previously useless or already overpowered abilities. After acquiring them for my Sorcerer, I immediately applied my first enchantment to ChainLightning. This allowed me to cast this crowd-controlling ability automatically as long as I had a good amount of mana.

For my second slot, I chose to enchant Flame Shield. Flame Shield is already a pretty strong ability that protects me from incoming enemies. And with the enchantment, it automatically activates whenever my player takes fatal damage. Hence, it kind of gave me a second life. It does have a 120-second cooldown. But it was worth it whenever I took tons of damage.
