Talk:Elizabeth I's Hair Ribbon/@comment-5782071-20190612200716

So, while making this page, the effects may not seem to exactly match the origin. In my head, I linked the effects of a "temporal reset/travel" with Elizabeth's last words and the idea that she was very lonely, and the ribbon would have given her the ability to see those people again. Rather than effects bassed purely on known facts from a page written today about a woman hundreds of years ago, I tried to base them on relatable human emotions, something you could extrapolate from someone in her position.

Plus, Maelzel never died and came back to life, Frances Farmer didn't have telekinesis, and Chester Moore Hall didn't have anything to do with mind control (as far as I know).

And I just really wanted to use this in a story, I'm just still trying to figure said story out.

As for the downsides, I'm torn between two options:

1. The user gains a strong craving for sweets (something literal)

2. The user slowly begins to hyperfixate on wants over needs (artifact-typical exaggeration of its origin's traits - Elizabeth prioritized her craving for sugar over the health of her teeth; this downside may make the artifact's use dangerous, as it could lead the user to unnecessarily reset when they don't need to or shouldn't)
