Plot suggestion

Just an idea I thought of to explain the vizard army and at the same time draw them into the conflict. It might be cool to have the Vizard's base located over a strange artifact emitting energy similiar to the hougyoku except it turns shinigami into vizard. Thus you could explain why there is a group of Vizard and give them something of value that either the shinigami or arrancar could want whether to use this power to augment their own or seal this power to prevent it from being abused.

Any how it's just a rough idea thought I would toss it out there let me know what you think. ;D

it might be a good idea to start conflict, but it can also be used as a anti-shinigami weapon. throw into sereitei and the vizards have won(hurray), since there are no more shini's and a LOT of vizards. how about a large artifact that increases the power of hybrids(vizard/arrancar). this brings the same conflict, but doesnt have the "use artifact=turn all shinigami in the area into vizard" risk, wich could be a gamekiller.

I was thinking more along the lines that you must be born or live for an extended period of time with exposure to the artifact for it to work. Or like the hougyoku it has to be directed like a spell, still your idea works just as good and I agree instant turning into Vizard is a game killer and I wouldn't want it.
