1. Is the item magical ammunition of any kind? Yes ⇒ Consumable
2. Does the item require attunement? Yes ⇒ Permanent
3. Does the item have charges? Yes ⇒
   1. Are the charges rechargeable? Yes ⇒ Permanent
   2. Can the item be used in any way that doesn’t require using a charge? Yes ⇒ Permanent
   3. Is the item consumed when you use the last charge? Yes ⇒ Consumable
4. Is the item consumed when you use the item? No ⇒ Permanent

Otherwise, it’s a consumable.
