Why be so heavy-handed about it though? If your object is just to allow
for extremely powerful unique items that disappear from players, then why
not just have the extremely powerful unique items disappear when they log
out. Or, have some sort of in-role reason. Perhaps these artifacts are
simply too powerful for mortal-kind to hold onto for any period of time,
and bad things start happening if they hold onto them too long.
