This card is ok if you are not prepared to make it broken. Lucius Galloway, Ursula Downs, and Monterey Jack can break this card wide open and make the game a cakewalk. How you might ask? They ask their Local Eldritch know it all to take time and put it to delaying the signs of Cataclysm and the moment someone pulls an auto fail at their location they seal it. So now, for every round, they get one or two actions, and don't worry about the auto fail, because it can't hurt them if it isn't real. This is a much better way than the another way to eat the auto fail because it doesn't require rng or a massive setup. With paying the ferry man and having someone else get xp you can get this at scenario 2 as long as you get 6 xp from the scenario (or 4 if you manage a big kills). Sledgehammer your friends all you want, you know you won't fail because they ate the auto fail.

You want to fail at a test to seal a "bad" chaos token ? And then you need charges to keep the token(s) sealed ?

It seems to me that it's best in a mystic deck (or a deck with some access to mystic cards):

• Scrying Mirror to decide if you want to commit to succeed or if you prefer to fail and seal the token,
• Olive McBride to have more choices when sealing tokens,
• Enraptured / Recharge to recharge the Dial,
• ...

So Daisy Walker, Norman Withers or ... Akachi Onyele. She has +1 charge and Spirit-Speaker to recharge the dial by putting it in her hand and replaying it.

And as several of the cards mentioned above work on test made by an other investigator or on assets controlled by an other investigator you can give the dial to an investigator and the token-manipulation an/or recharge to an other one.
