The other day, I was creating things for my setting when I completely broke tradition with the form and mechanics of magic items.
Varia magic items are your standard armor/shield/weapons with a twist: the actual physical weapon is the cheap part, the enchantment is the expensive part. The twist: the enhancement is in gem form that can be removed and placed in different Varia items.
I also got tired of staves being charge-using, spell-completion, hoopty-do "I'm a glorified wand" items. I also got tired of every weapon being the same boring look at medieval weapons (or Eastern weapons, which seem to be more popular anymore with published material). So I created Manaweapons, which are truly customizable weapons.
See the attached for pricing breakdown and craziness.
LET'S GET THIS GRAVY TRAIN ROLLING AGAIN, PEOPLE!!!

Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
Dell: We're pleased to inform you that your order was shipped on 06/06/2006!
Me: Great, so now I have Satan in my computer. Like XP wasn't problematic enough.

Uh, one thing I can think of is to have gems that act sort of like batteries for charged items. Each gem holds X charges. Pop a clip and go until it's spent.
This technique of RPG playing has been passed down the Bloodmooon line for generations!
