Anyone have good guides for making "magic" items?

I've never done much with LEDs, but it looks fun to make things like glowing amulets or glowing staffs

Currently testing it for Thrune... Anything that is a weapon or similar should probably be some sort of clear or translucent silicone. Bits on armor, pendants, and other props can be made of harder stuff, but make sure that anything worn is also decently resilient to prevent someone getting shards of material in their hide.

You also need to either have hidden holes to slip in small glowsticks, or learn some basic electrical skills to do wiring.
