Create a new rule, called “Superstition” that has the following text:
A Defuser has an amount of Superstition, which is publicly tracked and begins at 0, and can only be positive values. A Defuser can do a single Superstitious Action if they have haven’t done a Superstitious Action since they last became part of a list of Defusers Who Failed of a Design. The following are Superstitious Actions:
- Mystify: Increase your Superstition by 1, and Score 1.
- Meditate: Increase or decrease your Superstition by up to 2.
- Canonify: If you are a Defuser with the most Superstition, add or remove a Tool to the list of Lucky Tools, except the Magic Crystals.
A Defuser with Superstition higher than 0 cannot use Tools other than those listed as a Lucky Tool. Lucky Tools are publicly tracked, and begin with just the Magic Crystals being a Lucky Tool.
Add a new tool to the rule “Tools”, which is the following:
Magic Crystals: This tool does nothing.
