The "mi" prefix you are seeing is from the Fantasy Companion and the new tabs it adds specifically for magic items, and it's pretty much the main reason I don't really have any common code to cover that stuff since it's built-in for the cost of an, IMHO pretty worthwhile, add-on. So while it could probably be done to make magic items without the FC, I guess I'd prefer to encourage folks to spend the money to try and keep the Savage Worlds side of the house at least maybe a little profitable for Lone Wolf.

Yea, I
have the Fantasy Companion(I have every module for purchase EXCEPT for the sci-fi one), it's more a matter that without the source xml, it's hard to visualize how things "hook together"(well. it's probably hard ANYWAY...lol). As I mentioned, it appears that all magic items have a gizmo and I am trying to conceptualize what that concept means and why it's important. I have the extra tabs in the editor, but I don't know what each i for in conceptual terms.
I would like to compare this to Racial Abilities vs Racial Properties. I started with the former, and based upon feedback about how they are used, I have switched to utilize the latter. I want to understand how and why so as to avoid making mistakes that will cost me time later on down the road.
For that matter, does the sci-fi module for HL add more tabs in order to deal with stuff like power armor(ie, a la iron man?) I would have no issue with any sample code being prefixed with requirements such as "The below code requires the Fantasy Companion".
I guess I would be very surprised if no one had created their own magic items unless most of the users just don't use the Fantasy rules.
