Is the cards effect recursive?
Yes. If a card with a certain trait gains the trait Control by way of Unified Conspiracy Theory, all other cards with that trait will also gain the trait Control. This expansion continues as long as is necessary. For example, if Clyde Throckmorton (traits Human, Throckmorton, Control, Entrepreneur) is in play along with Mary Zule (traits Glug, Entrepreneur), Mary will gain the trait Control; after that, any other Glugs in play will gain the trait Control, and so on. Isil Ziya (#C90) Q: The card says, “Pay 1 Pull any time to give her any trait for one round.” Since the card doesn’t say anything about cranking for this effect, can a Character copy abilities more than once per turn? A: Yes. One point to note is that, even though this special ability does not require the Character to crank, the section on “Control” (in “Ability Descriptions”) prevents a cranked Character from being controlled; you may not control an opponent’s cranked Isil to force her to gain traits.
