There’s nothing in the description of Necklace of Prayer Beads that makes me think it’s a consumable item. In fact, the SRD says: “Once a magic bead’s spell is cast, that bead can’t be used again until the next dawn.”

How would that change your assessment?

In reply to Erwin Anciano.

Okay… All of the features of Weapon of Warning are good just by having it on your person:
1. Advantage on Initiative Roll (do we ever roll initiative?)
2. No surprise for you or your party (do enemies try to sneak?)
3. No one in party will be sleeping through combat (does your party sleep?)

Feature 1 is very useful for the PC, while Features 2 & 3 are powerful as they are the same as an area effect for the adventuring party. And the other plus is that it can be any weapon… dagger, whip, great axe, etc.

Sky Blue for Weapon of Warning? What the hell?

If it were.non-attunement sure. It might be Sky Blue with a sadistic DM that imposes surprise in every combat, but in general it’s a really weak feature that requires attunement.

There are far, far better options for your three precious attubement slots.

DMG page 141 suggests you do NOT pay component costs of spells cast using a magic item unless the item specifies otherwise. Many of your recommendations have wrongly taken costs into consideration.
