Perhaps you can expand the same idea here with "magic template".  (Now I'm
not really sure if the thing I write are implementable).  But "magic" has a
uniform set of attributes (At least for 95%) : fire resistance, magic
resistance, bonus hit points, bonus armor poins and so on.  So from "magic"
side there may be a lot of commonality between "magic club", "magic sword"
and "magic cloack".

Of course there can be very unique magic properties: like "view orcs from
distance" which does not fit, but those probably can be solved individually
as similar to very odd "items"
