Ack, it's a great idea, but I have a wonderful troop who needs a magical
backpack and another that needs a magical cloak.
I still love the idea, but taking away the magic items or abilities of the
troops will make then a lot less interesting to design. I will give you
that this idea adds a certain spice to the game.
This idea may even help reduce a strong mage into nothing. What if some of
the magical items didn't give power, but took it instead. Or they could
transform the minifig into a toad. Or transport him back to the start, but
without his clothing.
