I am really loving the Pointy progression, and loved the Fevermore progression, and think Grainy looks great, and of course some of the stages for last year were amazing. But they're so temporary...I would pay a million sP, no joke, for the chance to be able to trigger the stages year-round even on a temporary basis. It would of course not grant the end stage, but is it possible to make an item that can be used to just go through the transformation on the same set schedule as the rest of the infection? 'Use' and it goes on, no need to even put in a 'pause' button or anything, just re-using part of the same code? The layering possibilities of stages on other skins are also really cool, and it could make a fun sP sink.

Yes, some of the stages would be great as wearables. I'd like to see the Coda Caves background and the beach foreground from this year become wearables. I think they would be better as just wearable items rather than temporary hexes though.
