So heres one of the items that my BBEG wizard (probably a worm that walks) has. Help me refine it, maybe there shouldn't be so many spells, or maybe i should be more liberal with the spells or have more powers/stat boosters
The Skins of the First Battle
Slot None?; Aura strong transmutation and necromancy; CL 20th; Weight 25lbs.
This magical, desiccated layered hide is a profane artifact created from corrupt magical beings who wore the flayed skins of their enemies, which absorbed into their flesh. It has long ago absorbed as much power as it can, so no new powers can be added.
It instantly bonds with its wearer and melds into their flesh. It only separates when the wearer has been slain.
Every day the wearer must make a DC 40 will save or become Chaotic Evil.
The Skins grants the wearer a +6 profane bonus to the creature's natural armor, And a +3 profane bonus on all saving throws.
The Skins grant further powers through aspects of the various creature’s whose skin contribute to its make up. It takes a full round action to change aspects. Any spells mentioned are always spell-like abilities granted to the user.

Destruction:
dunno…
It's a matter of what you want from it. Being an artifact, it can have as much stuff piled on it as needed for the plot, or to make your BBEG as strong as required. The DC40 or CE rather looks to keep the PCs from using it.
Looking at it, the main focus of this is destroying it, probably while the BBEG is still using it (just to make it killable). That's just a 100% plot device and depends on your campaign.
this is an incredibly powerful artefact, most likely it should be intelligent. it looks to be built for a mythic campaign.
a DC 40 will save is impossible, just make it turn anyone CE automatically.
Holy fire will destroy it. Flame strike or st elmo's fire. It would have to fail the saving throw, or it will recover.
