Effects
When the library card is placed on topof a finished manuscript it facilitites a warp in reality, re-writing history to a point. The result is a continuity in which the manuscript has been published by a random publishing company, with all paperwork, details and even memories coming into existence to coincide with the effect. The user of the card remains aware of it's use, as does anyone else who has come into contact with the artifact.

The user of the card develops a compulsion to continue writing and using the card, leading to a long, although varyingly successful career.

The fate of the published work is still subject to change, and it has as much chance of folding as any other publication.
