Of all the suggested new powers (which were really good ideas!), this one bothered me. Losing Wind due to a lost item seems really harsh, whether it's one per round or one per hour. How about something a little less fatal, like the Harrowed being unable to heal normally (or at least, having to use Fate Chips to heal) until getting the item back. This would make the Harrowed VERY careful if and when he misplaces the Memento in question, as he is suddenly VERY vulnerable to harm.
