Effects can't be made, they're only available for the weapons that already have an effect on the default weapon.

"axe of phractos"

It's an item that was crated in special cooperation between Valve and WETA Workshop, it doesnt really count as a "user-created item"

Ah thats a pity,

Is there a way to have animated textures or glows or textures with transparency?

If not what do you think the chance are that Valve would collaborate with a user?

darkdevices, the Mask textures handle all that. Check out the shader mask guide it should explain everything

Hey there!

I think I can help you. If there is an item with a particle effect in existence you can basically alter the effect for this item and overwrite the ingame files if you know your way around the particle editor.

I did this in a collaboration with a few guys for this item or this one.

So generally: Yes, it's currently possible to create and test weapon effects for heroes that have at least one other particle effect weapon. Mind though that Valve has never accepted self-made particle effects before and the chances that they change their mind are rather... slim. Still, it might work at least as some form of extended preview or concept for what effect you had in mind.

If you want to give it a shot and need some help feel free to add me.
