Missed this post in my rush to catch up earlier. Reviewing and responding now.

Is the vulnerability to special attacks and adjacent normal attacks and wounding powers enough to get around that, though? Do you think it's enough of a concern that making it easier for him to lose the sword (i.e. dropping the two wound requirement) would make sense?

Yes. Good catch. I'll review the wording there.

Good call here also. I'll look into it. Any current powers with language like that spring to mind to anyone? If not, I'll go diving.

Do any current scenarios use an object of power? If they do, it'd be one that starts on the map, and I think it could easily be FAQ'd that each object of power is unique and the one Skeletor starts with isn't the same thing as the one on the map. But it does open up for if anyone wants to create a scenario for Masters of the Universe and let him basically use the Object of Power as a stand in for some MacGuffin or other. The basic idea was to just give a generic thematic coverall option for his mystical artifact of the week, though, while giving him a bonus that he can't lose as easily as with the others.
As for Apoc and the glyph options, I don't think he'll care any about the Havoc Staff, as it's just a weaker Space Gem. But I could see him being interested in the Spellstone. The instead of attacking should reel it in, though, and if 15+ proves too powerful, we can tweak it.
