So it's simply a random artifact, and you "pay" for it with not using the hero for a turn or so.
I tried to put the emphasis not on the fact that the "X" is a winning condition, but that it would need more effort to make the thing worth it.
Getting something randomly for a small amount of additional micromangagement does not add much to the game IMHO.
