Tokenmagic VS foundryvtt-magic-items

You can use the module TokenMagicFX to adjust the token in various ways.

Token Magic FX it'll add a compendium full of all sorts of cool token fx.

Token Magic FX, despite the name, adds magic to more than just tokens! You can set all sorts of defaults for templates, but be aware that when you install it the defaults might be a little more flashy than you're looking for (or they might be exactly to your taste... everyone's different). When you go into the module's settings the Automatic Template Settings is right at the top and that's where you can start tweaking to get things how you'd like them to be.

This is really awesome! You may be able to save yourself some time by adding some dynamic effects with TokenMagicFX. You could have her swoop into the field, hover around her tile, add particle effects, and even cast shadows all without needing to modify the underlying animation at all.

You can use TokenMagic to add depth to the scene by adding shadows to floating characters. Here's an example of how that could look (apologies as I don't have an appropriate map for this): https://i.imgur.com/gOVJRnQ.png

In addition to this you can use (Token Magic FX)[https://github.com/Feu-Secret/Tokenmagic] to make those magic circles glow, highlight important objects, and more with basically 0 additional effort.

There's also the Token Magic FX module which is definitely more advanced, but if you're comfortable editing the guts of a macro, you could write some that would shift between images with a little more fan fare.

FoundryVTT Magic Items - This module for Foundry VTT and specific for the DnD5e system, adds the ability to create magical items with spells or feats that belong to the item itself, such as staffs or magic wands, which will be automatically inherited from the character who owns the item.

Magic Items - Allows adding additional spells and such onto magic items directly. Very useful for items that function on charge systems that can be upcast, though a little tricky to work with.

Well there's your problem right there.

Magic Items might help you. I believe you can set it to use multiple charges and scale with number of charges.

a solution could be to code your cutom "feature" into custom magic spells and use the mod "magic items" which let you add spells to magic items with customizable charge cost per spell, number of charges, charges regained at x and so on

What you want is the Magic Items Module... it works with MIDI-QOL and DAE. https://gitlab.com/riccisi/foundryvtt-magic-items
