Heart artifact ideas
- Huge increase in the amount of blood your body holds (500 units to something insane like 10,000)
- Self generation of certain chems. Randomisation, while amusing, is probably a bad idea so a list of stuff that is inherently beneficial (omnizine, chicken soup), stupid (colourful reagent, simethicone) or harmful but won't kill you straight away (liplolicide, spiders) is better for this.
- Depending on the artifact, could cause confusion in mobs. Robotic artifacts prevent rogue robots from registering you as a target, martians won't attack if you have a martian artifact heart (maybe you could even speak to them!). Wizard artifact heart causes spells that hit you to fizzle, as if you were the chaplain.
- There needs to be some synergy with initrobeedril. Maybe an initrobeedril bee has some minor change if it used to be an artifact heart, eg. a wizard heart artifact gives the bee a tiny wizard hat when it emerges. Royal initrobeedril artifact bees have major characteristic changes, eg. a giant borg artifact bee heart sends signals only borgs can hear that order them to worship it.
