seems very similar to Mutation, therefore this card likely would be a form of plagiarism.

that's a bit overkill.
This is made specifically for a game, meaning it should be read in the context of the rest of the game (which includes mutation).

However, this still seems very similar to mutation.
The difference of course being that this doesn't stats.
Also, I don't think this is a proper 'other' card.
be quick- time is quanta.

In the notes, you should describe the exact percentages.

Balance-wise, it's hard to consider, because granting a random ability doesn't seem like a mechanic worth a card slot. The insta-kill mitigates some of that as you can now use it as CC, but that's not a good direction to go towards.

Thematically, it is very very similar to mutation, and fits :entropy the best. Of course, then you have to make sure it doesn't overshadow (or get overshadowed by) mutation.
