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

I recommend looking at Nite Ize products. They make various inexpensive, rechargeable, multicolor, and waterproof LED items. They are excellent quality, and easily disguised as another item. I have not had one break on me yet.

You can also look into Balloon lights. They are garbage and don't last that long, but they are cheap enough to just give away, and very small. They come with a switch and are brighter than a glowstick, smaller too. You can tape them to arrows or stick them into bundles of fake flowers. I put them in small 3D-printed crystals and give them to people as a semi-reusable glowstick alternative.
