Here is my first impression of the above card - if you "turn user to gain
... ~until the end of the game~ ... after each use, user loses 1 body
permanently" - not to play card lawyer or whatever they are called,
wouldn't turning the gear the initial time take away the body point only
once? That is, initial turn I gain the conjuring or sorcery +1, loose the
body point, yet keep the gain until the end of the game... Or did you mean
turn the gear and gain the +1 until the end of the turn?
Maybe make the card unique?
And the last line, wouldn't it be easier to say somewhere about fragging
the card when discarded? *shrug*

Hmmm, an old module I don't think I have.
