This is the Magus, a Town Arsonist whose "douses" heal the player upon "ignition". The Doctor and Bodyguard have higher skill ceilings as you have to accurately predict what player is going to be attacked. This role exchanges high power for high guarantee of protection (if more people protected at once, you are more likely to successfully heal someone). The Magus doesn't actually "accomplish" anything, it's just a new take on a Town Protective.

Is there any way to protect yourself?

What are the interactions if a Witch/Coven Leader controls you?

This is quite good, you just need to put in some interactions. You might want to nerf it slightly, since it's better than Doctor in almost every way.
Note: If the Magus activates all enchantments and nobody is attacked, the enchantments will not disappear.

The near-guarantee of getting a heal in at least once per game means that it's more confirmable than the Doctor. This is probably a bad thing.

A confirmed Magus is likely a bit less useful to the Town than a confirmed Doctor is, though, since it isn't capable of maintaining a stable TP chain.

This role is very similar to the Botanist; however, I think I like your idea better. It is much easier to understand because it is so simple. I love the dilemma that this role creates, and I think it would be really fun to play as. I would suggest adding something where it says that if you protect a player, the protected player isn't notified they're attacked. This way, evildoers are able to claim to be this role.

This would get weird in cases where the target should know that they got attacked, such as when the attack is due to the Bodyguard's self-kill, or a rampage attack such as the Veteran or Werewolf.

Abilities:
- Enchant a player at night.
- Activate your enchantments at night.Hmm, this is pretty interesting, but this feels a bit overpowered, especially when compared to a Doctor. You can REPEATEDLY activate enchantments, which allow you to grant a lot of protection at once. After rereading it, I agree, it does feel slightly powerful. I feel that preventing it from activating the enchantments consecutively would be a reasonable nerf. This also raises the skill cap of the role as you have to predict when one of your enchanted targets is going to be attacked.
Attributes:
- Upon activating your enchantments, all enchanted players will be granted a temporary powerful defense. If one of your targets is attacked and saved at this time, all enchantments will be fade.Does it cure poison? I don't really take Coven roles into consideration unless I'm working directly with them (such as when I'm making a role change to an expansion-exclusive role. I could go either way.
Is there any way to protect yourself? It cannot.
Goal: Lynch every criminal and evildoer.
Victory Conditions:
- (Current Town win conditions).
What are the interactions if a Witch/Coven Leader controls you? The target you are forced to visit is enchanted, even if that target is yourself (comparable to the Arsonist).
Achievements:
- Mender: Win 1 game as a Magus.
- Wizard: Win 5 games as a Magus.
- Physician: Win 10 games as a Magus.

This is quite good, you just need to put in some interactions. You might want to nerf it slightly, since it's better than Doctor in almost every way.I don't feel that it's better than the Doctor; it cannot protect itself and its protection can be unreliable (it cannot protect a player on the first night or after an activation).
Note: If the Magus activates all enchantments and nobody is attacked, the enchantments will not disappear.

My responses to you are in dark, bolded red.

I've nerfed its ability to guarantee protection by putting preventing consecutive enchantment activations.

Even without the nerf I'm currently adding, preventing players from learning that they were protected feels unnecessary (and as Brilliand said, strange in certain cases).
