Red Imaginite
Ability: If this treasure is loaded by a Nexus Alliance ship, you may remove this treasure from the game to randomly place a treasure from any wild island on this ship. If loaded by any other faction, this ship may randomly swap a treasure with an enemy ship within S.
As written, the secondary, non-Nexus effect of this will almost never occur, because players generally aren’t going to be exploring wild islands with enemy ships that close, especially one that hasn’t already explored the island first and taken this for itself.
A more functional wording for that part would be something like this:
“If loaded by any other faction, keep this treasure face up; when this ship is within S of enemy ship, you may randomly swap one treasure with that ship, then remove Red Imaginite from the game.”
It’s also unclear what happens to the treasure if it’s loaded by a Nexus ship but the player (“may”) chooses not to grab a treasure immediately. As written, this would just remain on board with no further effect; if it’s meant to be useable at some future point, that should be specified.
