Heal a Vex to get an Allay

To make things more balanced, the way of getting an Allay should be made somewhat difficult and something you obtain as you advance further in the game. I propose that the Allay should be obtained by “healing” a vex (as most like to call it a friendly vex) in a similar way that you’d heal a zombie villager.

    A good idea but it wouldn't be easy to entrap a single Vex.

    I was going to suggest this idea, It would be a very interesting mechanic. Something like a single splash potion which instantly turns a vex into an allay. Since the Allay is kinda OP, it needs a difficult challenge to obtain it.

    The only thing that you need to balance is that evokers will be less powerful.

    This feels surprisingly Minecraft. 
    Unlike the caves and cliffs features, this feels vanilla. 

    How about using a totem of undying to a vex?
    So if a vex activates your totem it would lose it's sword and start chiming. And to make this a little more challenging(idea from simply sarc) you could start placing chimes into the world. This could either be placing blocks of amethyst or playing note blocks. After 20 seconds of continuous music the vex converts.

    OR 

    Mojang could focus simply on the amethyst part and make it so you would have to spike a vex with an amethyst crystal. This would be you hitting a vex with an amethyst crystal. This would use up the crystal and turn the vex purple. It would start colliding with blocks and fly sporadically all around the room ricocheting off of blocks. In this state pillagers would be hostile towards the converting vex and the converting vex would have very low hp.

    After 5 minutes. the vexes convert :)

    Something would be nice, because I lost half of the allays I obtained on my long walk back home due to what I believe to be pathfinder issues. Hours wasted. As it stands right now, I may just sacrifice a stack of diamonds every time I want an allay, and give myself a spawn egg. :(
