It's an angle I hadn't thought of, but I still think it would work. The
idol appears to be magically active all the time, whether someone is using
it or not -- although unfortunately, this is neither explicitly mentioned
or denied in the rules in BD, it's a fairly logical conclusion IMHO
because anyone can tap into the item's power immediately.

From there, since the idol had none of the PCs under its influence (the
only magician in the group was too scared of the apparent power of the
idol to use it), I don't really think the idol has much to say about where
it is taken.
