Description
In the Gwen 10,000 universe, Zs'Skayr became fed up with trying to possess Gwen to control her and the omnitrix. So he found a different way to get the power he thirst for. Magic. He went looking for Charmcaster, who in this universe was Ben's archenemy and offered to teach her all sorts of things she never knew in exchange for helping him get Gwen. When the pair faced off against Gwen and Ben, they held their own against the heroes until Gwen as Heatblast made a miniature sun and Zs'Skayr possessed Charmcaster to survive the sunlight. Ben then used a binding spell to make sure Zs'Skayr could not get out of Chrmcaster and they fought each other over control of her body. With the villainous duo defeated and stuck together, they had no choice but to escape. They spent many years trying to fight for control and tolerate the other's existence until they finally decided to work together and end the heroes who did this to them. With Zs'Skayr's ghost powers and Charmcaster magic, they are now a deadly force to reckoned with known as Cursecaster.Related content

Awesome work.
Dear God, the way they handled Charmcaster and Hex after the original series was borderline abominable(while redeeming Charmcaster wasn't a bad idea in theory, but redeeming Hex in Omniverse was pure bullshit).

Thanks.
Yeah they got thoroughly thrashed character-wise in UAF. The idea of Charmcaster slowly getting redeemed was a good idea but her character was all over the place that she ended up being a really confusing to character to either hate or cheer for. Hex on the other hand got shown even less that I can't even remember when he exactly showed up in any episode. Charmcaster did get better though, I thought her apparent insanity at talking to stones would drag her character down but after showing us what they really were I think that improved her a bit in my book. As for Hex, I didn't like what happened to him to Omniverse but I think it was kinda better than his treatment in UAF.

Agreed, Charmcaster's character flip-flopped almost as much as OV!Ben's. I also agree that the explanation they gave for her talking to her bag was at least passable(though, why she would ever acknowledge, much less listen to, Adwaita or Darkstar is beyond me).
According to the Ben 10 wiki, Hex appeared as the main antagonist in the Alien Force episode "Time Heals," and made cameo appearances in the Ultimate Alien in the episodes "Enemy of my Frenemy" and "Night of the Living Nightmare." The fact that I had to consult a wiki just to confirm that he was in both shows should really say something(his nonsensically sudden redemption didn't help matters, especially since the original series implied that he was both verbally and physically abusive towards his niece).

Why can't writers ever just make a character progress instead of go back and forth from one character type to another ? It get's frustrating especially with characters we like.
Really ? I always think Charmcaster was the villain of that episode and Hex only had a small role for a minute or two. Yeah, when you think about what was implied then his redemption seems even more out of nowhere.

It's truly a mystery...
Agreed, it felt like OV!Hex could've/should've been a completely different and/or new character(hell, having a character that could be a mentor to Gwen in magic is actually an interesting idea, since she's self-taught).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah like he could of been the good guy equivalent of Hex that was a professor at the university from the start and mentors Gwen after she discovers he's a sorcerer.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Would he be a new character(most likely a Doctor Strange analogue), or someone we've seen in the Ben 10 franchise before?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I say new character. At this point making an already established character into this type of person would be a huge change probably one we wouldn't like just like how Hex was changed. A Doctor Strange-esque would be awesome to make as Gwen's mentor.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that might be the best way to do this character... I wonder, though; what would his name and personality be(and would he be hammy and over-the-top, a la Dr. Orpheus, or would he be more subdued and serious, like Dr. Strange)?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe, his name could be Prof. Arcane, Mr. Cryptic, or Dr. Enimga. I think subdued and serious might be a better choice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess so. Since you suggested that he's a college professor, maybe "Prof. Enigma?"

My god...this is so epic! Where do you come up with this stuff?! You NEED a job at the new Ben 10 series!

Thanks! I know right?! It just comes to me.

Interesting idea. Are they two beings or did they finally merge and become one person?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well they are technically one being since they can't separate from each other. But in their mind they are two. When Charmcaster is in control she sees Zs'Skayr's face next to her.

Now this is CREEPTASTICALLY COOL!!!!! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! It just started with a name and turned into something so much cooler. I see what you mean by it being something from Monster High.

Uh, Magister Tennyson, allow me to present Rook Essa of Revonnah. She's my Ma'jun, or Godmother as the Humans say...
Vanessa: And daughter of the Gold Roof House, Holder of the Midnight Chalice of Cthulu, Mistress of the Wyrd Ways, and what are you doing for dinner?

Hold on.
Is that the heartless emblem on Cursecaster's belt?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well it's the normal heart symbol from her normal jacket with a Ghostfreak eye in the middle
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah.
Looked a lot like it though.

If Gwen has the Omnitrix, does this mean Ben is an Anodyte? Will your version Grandma Tennyson be nicer?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I never liked the concepts of Mana or Anodytes, so no. Ben is a magic user like Gwen was in the OS. I also didn't like Verdona very much either, but looking at her OV design. I want to rework her character into being an energy being from another dimension passing itself off as Ben and Gwen's grandma so it can siphon off the energy from Gwen's omnitrix and Ben's magic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So in your version Verdona is either a witch, or she was killed by Hex?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well "Verdona" comes from a dimension made entirely of Mana and everything there looks like this comicbuzz.com/wp-content/uploa…. "She" gets sent to the Gwen 10Kverse and starves for mana. Since magic closely resembles her dimensions mana, she must feed on magic and magic users to survive, making her an energy vampire. She comes across Ben and Gwen and realizing she can't face them head on takes the form of their dead grandma and gives them a fake story about how she didn't die and was put in cryo sleep. Since Max isn't there to prove her story wrong, Ben and Gwen believe her.

Zigwolf.....Where exactly did you put her heart emblem?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I get what you mean. I put it where a belt buckle would go.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's what I was hoping for.
Btw, how are Warp Head, Pack Rat, and the Absol alien coming along? I don't mean to rush you but I'm just rather excited.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm starting to draw them now, but I wanted to ask. Were the first two requests or commissions ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Unless you have some sort of Friend specialty program going on that I don't know about Warp Head and Pack Rat are 50 Point commissions. Since the Absol-based, danger-detecting alien idea was brought up long before you started doing commissions I believe that one still qualifies as a request.
However I will have for you another 50 point commission at a later date. I want to draw up one of the key components in the armor design first. Hopefully you are not too rust at drawing humans.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok I'll start on them soon and send the points over when you can.
Ok, that's cool. I'll be waiting. I'm improving at drawing humans now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Great!
I believe you said in your notes that you would send me a draft and when you do that I should send the points. Is that still how it's going to work?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well you can send the points now if you want. Your choice, but I will do the concepts and show you before I do the final drawings.
