So, I ran an idea for a Ben 10 artifact by Per, and he told me to run it by you and Affectos to see what you guys think. The artifact, of course, would be the Omnitrix itself.

My original idea that I pitched Per is as follows: "The Omnitrix as seen in Ben 10: Omniverse. Allows the user to transform into any alien species unlocked by Ben in the series. Causes the user to develop a hero complex and become reckless." Per asked about Alien X, and I replied as follows: "And one limit of Alien X, which we can include a measure of testing this out, is that while it is basically a God in every sense of the word, it must agree on a motion before it is decided. In this case, Alien X becomes extremely difficult to use effectively since - in Ben's case - the two beings in there basically disagree on everything. I know in Omniverse Ben was able to get them to basically let him control Alien X while they argued for all of eternity, but for the artifact the idea is to limit that back to the agreement issue. As I recall from one episode, Albeedo accidentally transformed into Alien X and was stuck in that form for over a year. So, it's a win-lose situation there, and it prevents just anyone from doing as they please."

However, he still wasn't entirely on board, so I adjusted the idea to include this: "So, you propose having the original ten aliens as opposed to them all? I can accept that. Perhaps include all of the limits of the prototype before recalibration (forced time-outs, unable to switch between forms, mistransformations, etc.), and maybe limit to who it works for, similar to how Falchion works?"

What do you think?
