Wasn't mine.  It's an interesting power, but I wouldn't use it in my 
game.  Just my personal preference.  It just doesn't strike me as 
fitting the BNW setting (as I see it--I know my setting is somewhat 
different from canon, although I've tried to take what I thought was 
the important essence of the setting and chuck out all that silly 
dimensional stuff).

(Additionally, I tend to avoid anything that becomes complicated, 
requires lots of book-keeping, and/or may cause players to not have 
fun.  I see this as ending up either as deus ex machina in that they 
get the power they need for that scenario or potentially 
boring--cycle through the same powers or get something useless like 
our old buddy the Translator and thus can't quite contribute).

But then, I never liked Wildcards much, even though I always felt I 
should.  I just found them dull reading--so this power doesn't 
resonate with me for the reason it might with other people.

Don't forget that this is my own feelings--obviously, other people 
like it and want to use it.  I don't mean any offense to the package 
designer.
