Does mogrify accept wildcards and percent escapes?

Hello!
I have a large (+18000) batch of .TIFFs I need to process. I want to burn the [Image name] onto the image itself. I have already tried FFmpeg, but someone told me magick could be faster.
I'm having trouble getting the code to work. I have tried using a [forfiles] loop already, but it's much slower than FFmpeg. So, I went with mogrify.
My issue is that mogrify doesn't like my wildcards (C:\path\*.TIFF) nor my escape (%f for filename, see on the code below). When I do it image by image, it works fine and dandy, and magick understands %f as it's supposed to (the file's name as string). BUT when I use mogrify to batch process the whole thing... Nope.
Here's my code, just in case:
So this should take all .TIFFs in the folder "try" one by one, annotate each file's filename (%f) and export it in the same folder, overwriting the inputs.
I also tried not giving it an output, giving it a different one... nothing.
This forfiles loop works:
master.bat:
image.bat:
What am I doing wrong? Does mogrify simply not take escapes and wildcards? What alternative do I have?
Thank you in advance :)
