Well, pick some examples and see if you can find a pattern. That's a good place to start.

So: At the extreme end, I think we can agree a Great Healing item is Amazing (4000 energy).

And at the trivial end, a 60-energy Seek Air item is probably Simple :) I'd probably go as high as 100 energy for Simple, at the least.

Is a +1 sword Average? It seems a classic magic item, so that might make it pretty Average; on the other hand, 4e D&D has +1 items pretty quickly, and that would vote for Simple, possibly giving you an upper range on Simple. That's 250 energy, classify it depending on the feel you're going for.

Shatterproof is the "basic" enchantment for magic weapons in D&D - all magic weapons being pretty darn tough. That's 400 energy - Simple (if your +1 sword is simple), or Average?

What about a +2 sword? Is that Average, or Complex? (1000 energy) a 2 Power enchantment or 2 Speed enchantment is also 1000 energy.

What about a Great Wish? that's 2000 energy, but not quite as fancy as a D&D Wish. Is that Complex or Amazing? Restoration is 2000 energy as well.

But there's also 4000 and 8000 energy spells in there, those are pretty clearly Amazing.

My inclination is to go with the following
Simple: 1-199 energy
Average: 200-999
Complex: 1000-3999
Amazing: 4000+

EDIT or alternately
Simple: 1-250
Average: 251-1500
Complex: 1501-3999
Amazing: 4000+
