Couldn't come across something like this so...
I wanted to make a d100 chart of random qualities of arms and armor! I need your help to come up with more!
Please avoid suggestions that could be displayed by actual magical qualities. for example 'wreathed in flames' because that could be achieved with the flaming enchantment!
You can roll on this chart for and armor or weapon that is created or that is come across for you or your players to give a little variety without mechanically changing anything!
Here are a few I have come up with to help get us started. also, #99 and #100 are reserved for Roll Twice and ignore results above 99 and Roll 3 Times and ignore results above 99.
Here we go!
1. Leaves trails of Smoke (Roll 1d6. 1 White|2 Black|3 Red|4 Blue|5 Green|6 Yellow)
2. Sheds light as a Torch
3. Feels cold to the touch
4. Feels hot to the touch
5. Sparkles
6. Unusual Scent (Roll 1d3. 1 Pleasant|2 Unpleasant|3 Neutral)
7. Hums slightly when swung (for weapons) or when moving quickly (for armor)
8. Vibrates
9. Color changing (Roll 1d6 each morning. 1 Red|2 Orange|3 Yellow|4 Green|5 Blue|6 Purple)
10. User Occasionally hears ominous whispers
11. User Occasionally hears angelic choirs
12. High Gloss. Reflection of self abnormal (Roll 1d6. 1-3 Angelic qualities|4-6 Demonic qualities)
13. Dripping. Drops disappear before hitting ground. (Roll 1d6. 1-2 Water|3-4 Blood|5-6 Slime)
14. Has a heartbeat
15. Appears to be made of swirling fog
|
|
16. Changes to mimic the sky at the given time (ie. Looks like the setting sun, twinkling stars at night, etc.).
17. Displays an eye that occasionally blinks
18. Constantly ripples like the surface of a lake during light rain
19. Objects (nothing bigger or heavier than a copper coin) can be stuck to it like a magnet
20. Grows fur like an animal. Trim it before it get too long!
21: (Weapon only) On a critical hit, the wound leaves a mark/scar of some relevance to the weapon's origin. (Holy symbol, coat of arms, arcane mark of the original creator, etc.)
22: When swung through the air (weapon) or blocking an attack, (armour) the item makes a sound of some relevance to its origins. Perhaps constant swinging makes it recite a common prayer of its deity, or it sings a dwarven battle hymn as it blocks attacks.
#2 - any magic weapon may shed light.
Fully 30% of magic weapons shed light equivalent to a light spell. These glowing weapons are quite obviously magical. Such a weapon can't be concealed when drawn, nor can its light be shut off. Some of the specific weapons detailed below always or never glow, as defined in their descriptions.
39. Darklight - while drawn weapon emits a continuous Darklight.
40. Mistborne - item shrouds the user and adjacent squares per Obscuring Mist
41. of the Void - item removes all air from users square and all adjacent squares
42. Howling - item emits a continuous wailing in battle. (-20 on all sound based perception checks, total concealment vs creatures using sound based perception e.g. echolocation.
43. Disintegrating - ignores hardness; items and creatures reduced to 0 hp turned to dust
44. Feared - weapon only; free intimidate check when damage dealt. Does not stack.
45. Terrifying - weapon only; free intimidate check when damage dealt, +2 on intimidate checks, stacks, i.e. shaken -> frightened -> panicked

Funny you should quote that! That is what inspired me to make this list. It felt only right to include it!

Footsteps appear beneath thrown weapons or fired ammo unless the wielder makes a successful sniping stealth check.
54: Exsanguinating: (Any magic weapon, armor, or other item) Constantly bleeding wounds appear on the wielder's body, although they never lose blood or leave a permanent trail due to this. (Roll 1d8. 1. Heart|2. Eyes|3. Nose|4. Neck|5. Hands|6. Leg|7. Wielder's scars/old wounds|8. Roll 1d8 twice, ignoring 8s|)

When reequipped, the tendrils return to full size within 2d4 hours.
57: Hat: (Any magic weapon, armor, or other item) A unique and distinct hat appears atop the wearer's head when the item is donned.

82: Cursed Subtitle. When you speak, words appear in a language of the person you are speaking to can understand, just under your head. You can not see these words. The words that appear, are always insulting to the person reading them, no matter what you are saying.
83: bable, is not intelligent but constantly speaks, reading out an entire book over and over again. If the book happens to be on a subject, you gain a +2 bonus on knowledge checks on that subject.
91. Lyrical (armor only): the wearer has perfect recall for lyrics to any folksong, limerick, shanty, or diddy they have ever heard. Does not improve one's singing voice, nor enhance bardic performance. However if the wearer imbibes alcohol of any type they may be overcome with the urge to regale those around them with song after song. Even if the armor is removed the effects stay with the wearer for another 1d4 days.
92. Mocking, no matter how much you try the skill and power you display with your attacks and combat finesse is never enough to satisfy your weapon. It doesn't speak or anything, it just constantly gives you this feeling.
93. Comfy. (Armor only), the inside of this armor is always comfy feeling as if it's the softest bed inside, you may sleep in it and not get fatigued.
94. (metal only) The metal is shiny and dark, and when you stare at it, you can see the stars shining in it.
95. (metal only) When it is hit or is hit by other metal objects, it rings out a almost hypnotic ringing sound.
95. The item always appears to be made out of pure light, it does not give off light, but can be seen in any direction and can be seen through physical material up to 1 foot thick if within 30 feet.
96. The item never truly touches the ground but hovers, if on a hill it will slide down it as fast as possible.
97. cannot be moved unless an animate object handles it. When let go will float in the air until toughed again.
98. when equiped it will tell a funny random joke. Will only do this once per equip.
99. if weapon, when thrown or fires ammunition will stop in the square specified even if the roll is a miss, usually stopping midair and then dropping down(will never catch hold of anything or embed itself). If armor any weapon ammunition or weapon is successfully thrown at you it sticks to the armor and can be retrieved as part of any move action.
100. is always the last place you check for it every morning.
Wait, but aren't these abilities supposed to not mechanically change anything, and aren't 99 and 100 reserved?
the default one gives you a free constant torch
hint hint but "Fully 30% of magic weapons shed light equivalent to a light spell. These glowing weapons are quite obviously magical. Such a weapon can't be concealed when drawn, nor can its light be shut off. Some of the specific weapons detailed below always or never glow, as defined in their descriptions."
oh and were 99 and 100 reserved? I didn't notice, if they were.
welp can't edit it now. XD
I suppose they can be the effect only if you rolled 99 or 100 already...

Wow! We got to 100 much faster than I thought we would! Great job to all who contributed!
The original idea was to have a list of 'abilities' that could be applied to arms and armor interchangeably but I am seeing many exclusive to weapon for armor. That's okay, though! It just makes me think there should perhaps be two separate lists with those applicable to and weapon appearing on both lists!
despite us reaching 100, I encourage everyone to continue to post more as they come to you!
let's keep this ball rolling!
102. Hushed (armor): The wearer finds their normal speech to be no louder than a whisper! You are always assumed to be whispering unless you make effort to shout and be heard.
103. Breath (weapon): The weapon shrinks and expands slightly as if it were breathing.

85: Jittering: (Any magic armor or other item) The wielder feels effused with wakeful energy and will unconsciously move, shift, and bounce slightly if they do not make a conscious effort to stop. This does not actually give the wielder more stamina or more resistance to sleep.
86: Bedazzled: (Any magic armor or other item) The item is coated with dozens or hundreds of magically sparkling, small, worthless gemstones. The combined light from the gemstones gives off light equivalent to that of a torch. Gemstones pried from the item cease to sparkle and disappear in 1d4 hours, when a new gemstone appears.
87: Sticky: (Any magic weapon, armor, or other item) The item perceptibly sticks to other items of a certain type. (Roll 1d10. 1. Items of the same type|2. Creatures|3. Metal|4. Dirt and stone|5.

89: Weeping: (Any magic weapon) The weapon faintly sobs and water drips from it whenever the wielder uses it to wound anyone. The sobs rise to a loud cry if the wielder kills with the weapon, although this may be silenced as part of a successful stealth check.
90: Handy: (Any magic weapon) The weapon takes on the consistency, warmth, texture, and coloration of the wielder's hand, although it retains its durability and ability to deal damage.
91. Lyrical (armor only): the wearer has perfect recall for lyrics to any folksong, limerick, shanty, or diddy they have ever heard. Does not improve one's singing voice, nor enhance bardic performance. However if the wearer imbibes alcohol of any type they may be overcome with the urge to regale those around them with song after song. Even if the armor is removed the effects stay with the wearer for another 1d4 days.
92. Mocking, no matter how much you try the skill and power you display with your attacks and combat finesse is never enough to satisfy your weapon. It doesn't speak or anything, it just constantly gives you this feeling.

94. (metal only) The metal is shiny and dark, and when you stare at it, you can see the stars shining in it.
95. (metal only) When it is hit or is hit by other metal objects, it rings out a almost hypnotic ringing sound.
96. The item always appears to be made out of pure light, it does not give off light, but can be seen in any direction and can be seen through physical material up to 1 foot thick if within 30 feet.
97. The item never truly touches the ground but hovers, if on a hill it will slide down it as fast as possible.
98. cannot be moved unless an animate object handles it. When let go will float in the air until toughed again.
99. when equiped it will tell a funny random joke. Will only do this once per equip.
100. if weapon, when thrown or fires ammunition will stop in the square specified even if the roll is a miss, usually stopping midair and then dropping down(will never catch hold of anything or embed itself). If armor any weapon ammunition or weapon is successfully thrown at you it sticks to the armor and can be retrieved as part of any move action.
101. is always the last place you check for it every morning.
102. Hushed (armor): The wearer finds their normal speech to be no louder than a whisper! You are always assumed to be whispering unless you make effort to shout and be heard.
103. Breath (weapon): The weapon shrinks and expands slightly as if it were breathing.
But that is part of the baseline. The options are supposed to be entirely flavorful modifications of either no special effect, or light special effect. Notice how none of Thewms' own special abilities modify any d20 roll or alter the light level beyond that of a torch. In fact, they all do squat mechanically, except for the one that shines like a torch, which does something that 30% of magic items could already do.Wait, but aren't these abilities supposed to not mechanically change anything, and aren't 99 and 100 reserved?the default one gives you a free constant torch
hint hint but "Fully 30% of magic weapons shed light equivalent to a light spell. These glowing weapons are quite obviously magical. Such a weapon can't be concealed when drawn, nor can its light be shut off. Some of the specific weapons detailed below always or never glow, as defined in their descriptions."
well that's an unfun baseline, so i spiced it up a bit.
105. Alarming: This armor or weapon property emits an audible tone at sunrise relative to the position of the user, regardless of the user's ability to see the sun.
106. Gilded: This armor or weapon bears an illusion that evokes the thought upon sight or touch that the item is worth at least twice as much, though there is an obvious, telltale mark somewhere on the piece that tells ofor this enchantment.
107. Garnishing: This armor enchantment allows the wearer to magically add garnish to any food he is currently eating.
108. of the Chef: This enchantment grants the user 1 rank in Profession Chef and allows the user to remove burned bits from food to make it taste edible.

What's really funny is that I am dyslexic and read that perfectly the first time lol.
112: spicy: (this weapon or armor has a slightly spicy smell and of tasted will make your mouth feel as though you have eaten a pepper)
You'd be impressed how much can be done with very little. These are basically things that can be added to an item that don't increase its cost or +x bonus.well that's an unfun baseline, so i spiced it up a bit.But that is part of the baseline. The options are supposed to be entirely flavorful modifications of either no special effect, or light special effect.

here's the thing, I did go very far with very little, none of this would cost extra.
113 - Giggling: Every time this weapon deals a critical hit it giggles like a schoolgirl. Same happens if its owner gets hit with a critical hit.

114 - Wondrous: Every time this weapon hits a target successfully, roll a random effect from the Rod of wonder effects table.

I wholeheartedly approve of this thread.
116. Gambler: (light melee weapons only) As a move action, when the base of the handle or hilt is struck lightly upon a hard, flat surface two illusionary dice (d6) will pop from the handle as if rolled from the hand. The dice fade away after this roll.
117: Vegas: (armor) Wearer can always detect the closest gambling activity within 100 yards.
118. Dresden: The weapon can double up as a sporting equipment of the crafter's choice
119. Paizo: The carrier of a Paizo weapon is always greeted with friendship and respect. However, a Paizo weapon has to be used very carefully. If in any given round you deal the most damage of your party, the weapon shrinks by one size.
I'm going to preface this with "i'm not continuing the discussion" after this, if you reply I will read it but not respond.
the feat is a non-feat, and is merely a feat tax, it's only useful quality being the prereq of other "more useful" feats, also the costly sleepy part, well i'm pretty sure they added in that bit or every time you used it's ability to shorten your sleep schedule you'd have been fatigued regardless, the 4500gp buys you the sleep reduction the sleep in armor bit is basically free.
Light = you can't lose it either, it's also really easy to initially find. Also your companions can't lose you, even in crowds or in magical darkness.
#97, so an animate object in normal english is anything moving; people, constructs, undead, a base ball, debris from an explosion, etc. It would simply freeze even mid air if not being attended to or being hit by something.
I'm going to end it though, with my opinion on what this mixed bag should represent. The crazy and unique features of magical items. Magical items in lore, etc tend to have strange features about them, these features SHOULD be able to impact the world and have mechanical impact, because this is how this one magic item behaves.
If a weapon happens to just look like it's made out of water, no one will ever care, however if
(#120) the weapon also drenched anything it hit with water, then it can be interesting, especially when you swing at a fire to put it out, or swing at a painting to ruin it with out ruining the canvas, etc.

Also, a suggestion: Maybe we categorize these as =0, <0, and >0 effects? Basically, effects that provide no mechanical benefits/drawbacks (such as #2, #14, #47, #92, or #102), effects that provide mechanical drawbacks (such as #78), and effects that provide mechanical benefits (such as #43 and #76).
I currently working on an excel spreadsheet categorized for weapons and armor and then color coded denoting Helpful/Unhelpful/Neutral. Thanks for the suggestion!
Edit: I'll put it on a Google Docs thingamajigger and post it up here. Don't count on it being up today, but i'll try!

121. Paizo II: All the character need do is hold out the flat of the blade or appropriate piece of armor before them like a plate and say, "The Customer Service team rocks." (or a similar phrase) and a warm, delicious, freshly baked cookie appears before them. Functions once per day.
123: Teatime: The wearer or wielder of this item can, at will, produce a teacup filled with steaming tea. The tea vanishes if poured out of the teacup, and the teacup vanishes if it ever leaves its holder's possession.
