I think this is the kind of card that Wizards wouldn't print because it encourages players to mana-screw themselves.
Hmm, I could see that. Shame, as I was actually really excited when I came up with the card.
Why not just have the artifact tap for mana itself, either 1 or Z depending on case?
I was trying to alter the original to something that didn't involve mana screwing itself. Also, there's already an artifact in this set that does that Necklace of Feathers, so that makes pretty redundant.
Hmm. In that case this is still pretty redundant. It's a fiddly way to do exactly the same thing in 90% of cases.
Woot! It's totally different now.
Wizards have steered clear of making anything strictly better than Jayemdae Tome. The Tome is hardly a powerhouse, but all the variants on it are either limited (Serum Tank, Candles of Leng), or more expensive either to cast or activate (eg Trigon of Thought, which as it happens is also restricted).
Ugh. The name creeps me out. I know what fetish means in this context, but I can't stop imaging stumbling on a very frightening website in the depths of the internet involving people with certain inclinations...
Fwiw I didn't like the name. Brain and vision seemed to be my two options, for name sources, and vision seemed hard to put into a concrete object.
