I actually really like it.

(Hmm... Might as well give the idea for my favorite Prince.)

Vile Tricks: At level __, a travelling merchant named Vivace Cullis wearing a strange mask approaches you. He says he can give you something regular Merchants can't, in exchange for a certain person's soul he will grant you a wish, be it wealth, cake, secret knowledge or infinite health (Other options are available). When you give him the soul he will grant you your wish. When it comes to using what you wished for it will all go horribly wrong. E.g. Eat cake, get poisoned. Use money, wrong currency. Secret knowledge, find out your mother's favorite underwear. Infinite health, zero stamina and magicka. When you realise it has all go wrong, a Dog will appear out of an Oblivion portal, it will start talking and calling itself Barbas.

Barbas will say that the player was tricked by Clavicus Vile, but Barbas will say that Clavicus Vile is willing to revert it if you do one thing, trick his Champion in to killing his family. At this point you can ask Barbas questions, such as asking why Clavicus tricked the player, in which he will reply that the player asked for an impossible wish, he should of saw it coming. Once you find his Champion you can do many things, pretend to be a Courier giving him a letter which says his family betrayed him, use Frenzy, use your own words and convince him, torture him and threaten him until he agrees to do it. Then Clavicus Vile will appear before you and the blood covered Champion and say that the player has the true soul of a Trickster and will give him the Masque of Clavicus Vile, a new spell which distracts enemies (Even in battle) and he reverts the bad wish. The Champion will go insane and try and kill the player, you see his blade go in to you and the screen goes black, you suddenly open your eyes, the Champion is dead on the floor and Clavicus is standing before you and quotes, "You think you lose, you die, and that's the end. It's not.". You are let free and you get Clavicus' alliegance.
