Hrm. Did this, experimented, and unfortunately it's not what's needed. Changing the magic item's spell effect base from '50 charges, spell trigger' to '50 charges, use-activated' doesn't add on a flat amount (which is what this code does); instead, changing the baseline increases the base multiplier for the object from 750gp to 1000gp.

So I presume it wouldn't affect the abValue value, but ... I don't know. It'd increase the multiplier by 250. :/ I just don't know how the multiplier is encoded. Ideally, it'd add 250 to that ...

The multiplier is supposed to be calculated by you earlier in the script, based on however many charges, spell level, caster level, etc. and only then do you add whatever amount you calculated to the abValue field inside the gizmo.
