How different do you feel this card is from Quantum Locket (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,25665.0.html)? (Both cards perform noticeably similar roles, with the only difference IMHO being that Modular Pillar is limited to your hand.)The two are definitely similar. The sacrifice effect makes for an interesting way to get around targeting a quanta type directly. If the locket makes it in, though, this one will probably be UP...
What if it accumulated quanta production for each sacrifice. E.g. "2 Modulate: Sacrifice a card to switch quanta generation to 1 of that card's element and increase stack size by 1."

can u sacrifice aI suppose, but since it has no element, it would do nothing.

2 cards + 2 :rainbow + 1 turn delay for a double pillar of selected element. Obviously not OP. The cost seems rather high, perhaps just the discard cost and no other activation cost?
what would the upgrade do then?

If this fit it would work:2 cards + 2 :rainbow + 1 turn delay for a double pillar of selected element. Obviously not OP. The cost seems rather high, perhaps just the discard cost and no other activation cost?
what would the upgrade do then?
"This turn and each turn 2 quantum of the attuned element is generated."
"This turn and each turn 2 quantum of that element is generated."

but when you first play it, nothing is attuned.

Maybe in the upped version 2 quanta could be generated at the time of the discard as well?

Now I see why. What I wrote doesn't translate literally to what I meant. Different wording would be needed.^This was what I said.

"0: Modulate - Discard a card, atune to its element. Gain 2 quanta of that element now and each turn."

Eg if you have 4 towers, modulating one would instantly generate 8 quanta...
I see from this discussion that you meant it to only apply to the modulating tower itself... but I think the current wording may confuse players.
On a side note, this would be fun to use in a fractal deck, since you could run mono-aether a little more efficiently by gaining back quanta during "forced" discards.

You may want to fix the wording... When I just read it I thought that each one of the towers would spark off 2 quanta whenever the modulate ability gests used.
do all lava golems grow when you use the ability of one of them? i dont know how to make it any clearer...

"0: Modulate - Discard a card to attune to its element. Generates 2 attuned quanta each turn and upon modulate."
