This fact can be countered by the fact that the Wizard who makes
this magical item has to be blooded as well and pretty darn powerful to boot.

I agree with Randax here. IMO, the divine essence of a God would greatly over
power the meager magics created by a mortal wizard; even more so in an enchanted
item. Even if that bloodline was watered down, I would still think the ‘mortal
made’ amulet would have difficulty getting past the divine aspect inherent with the
blooded character. (Maybe a saving throw modifier or something.)
IMC I like to keep magic items as unpredictable as possible. I have ruled that the
power of each magic item is dependent upon the wizards skill/ability/effort who
made it. Thus, two amulets of ‘detect alignment’ would have drastically different
properties. The first might be very reliable & powerful, but limited to range
(touch for example), while the second might be slightly more ubiquitous, (showing
the wearer the targets ‘aura color’ or something & let the player decide what it
means) but have a better range (within 50’ say.)
Save BR man!
