All magic properties (weapons, shields, and armor) are now converted to the new template.  However, none of them have been reviewed.
Need to add in the {{Dmg|xxxx}} template to any properties that inflict a damage type.
Note that 'Void' deals "neutral" damage, which doesn't exist any more, so we may need to either update or delete that one.
When reviewing, keep in mind that monsters can only have one condition at a time, so anything which inflicts two conditions should be reviewed/fixed.
Need to clearly state whether a property affects stealth or not.  In my opinion, most things should just impose a penalty to stealth, not prevent it altogether, for the same reason that tremorsense doesn't defeat stealth automatically.  Players need to have the agency to try, even if the odds are poor.  That said, a max-tier thundering weapon should be like -20 or possibly -25.
Bonus types granted by magic properties should be reviewed:
 * if you don't want the bonus to stack with other magic items, the bonus type should be 'enhancement bonus'
 * if you do want it to stack with everything, it should be 'circumstance bonus' or 'competence bonus'
 * exceptions are fine, as long as we intend for them to be exceptions.
