You have tried something I haven't attempted yet

So far I've just been using spells with clerics and magic-users, no items. It will eventually be working with items too. I'm surprised you got it partially working already.
There is a spell status page for characters that displays the spells which are currently active for that character. Are you asking for a way to see which individual stats are affected by spells?
