Remember the MK3 invasion was a backup plan, should the tournament in MK2 result in failure. It's possible that by the time of the tournament, Shao Kahn still didn't know if Sindel's revival would be successful or not, which would then nullify her ward.

If that's true, then we can interpret this to mean that by the time Liu Kang fought him in the MK2 tournament, SIndel's revival wasn't a complete success yet. And, as Shao Kahn saw it, without her revival being a complete success, he would have no backup plan AT ALL.

I hope that theory makes sense to you. Well, you did mention a lot of stuff that was true. Although, there's no real explanation about the full potential. It would make more sense if the Elder Gods were to use their powers to hold back the full potential.

Ok.

Returning to the issue of the amulet being real or fake and what not, the main problem I see is that from all the info about the amulet, it would seem the only difference between the real and fake versions is that while both of them increase your power, the latter only raises it by a small fraction of what the former would do.

Looking back at the original timeline, since this was his personal amulet, I don't quite understand why Shinnok couldn't tell the difference between the real one and a fake one that Quan Chi made. Makes me wonder just how capable WAS Quan Chi's sorcery this whole time (both the 1st and 2nd timelines).
