Can the Echo Knight's echo use an Eldritch Maul (Eldritch Claw Tattoo (UA))?
The Manifest Echo description says: "When you take the Attack action on your turn, any attack you make with that action can originate from your space or the echo’s space. You make this choice for each attack." (https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/fighter#EchoKnight)
The Eldritch Claw Tattoo says the following about the Eldritch Maul: "Eldritch Maul. As a bonus action, you can empower the tattoo for 1 minute. For the duration, each of your melee weapon attacks can reach a target up to 30 feet away from you, as tendrils of ink launch from your weapon or unarmed strike toward the target. In addition, your melee weapon attacks deal an extra 1d6 force damage on a hit. Once used, this bonus action can’t be used again until the next dawn."

Assuming the Eldritch Maul is active and the echo is attacking, can I add the Eldritch Maul's range to my melee weapon attack range? Or can only the actual fighter himself use the Eldritch Maul's extending range?
"When you take the Attack action on your turn, any attack you make with that action can originate from your space or the echo’s space. You make this choice for each attack."
It is still you attacking, you are just doing it from a different location. There is nothing in the rules about attacks through the echo not being able to be ranged, or reach weapons.
