On my first server I started everyone with a charm that had a click-effect, it's actually very common practice, so if this was broken it would have to be a very recent regression.
That's why I've been inclined to suspect that we're all missing something, myself included. I apologize if I came across as abrasive, it wasn't my intent.

The function does exactly what it's supposed to do, the key is understanding how items with click effects work. The SQL I listed earlier is wrong, you would need a 1 in the charges field.
The item itself has a maxcharges of -1, which means we never run out of charges, but the item instance has to have at least 1 charge if it is going to do anything. That's where this became confusing. Charges can't get set to maxcharges unless maxcharges is a positive value. The -1 in maxcharges just keeps Mob::CastSpell from reducing the charge count, it still won't fire the spell unless it has at least one charge in the item instance.

By passing SharedDatabase::CreateBaseItem() a 0 for charges, you are effectively setting the charge amount to 0 if maxcharges is -1. Set maxcharges to -1 in the db and charges to 1 in the instance and it will work.
