usually when antags have the ability to convert a non-antag to an antag (in modes where it's not the Entire Point, anyways) there's a major downside to the person being converted, whether it's mindslaves being bound to the orders of their master, changeling limbcritters being critters, thralls being extremely frail and having next to no advantages, or gang members having to participate in a gangs round
the concept presented seems like it won't do anything to fix the problem traitor chaplains have where someone begs them for big powerful contracts, then uses them to validhunt. rather this seems like it'll exacerbate the issue, except instead of creating hyper-powerful nonantags who then go beat the tar out of anyone they can, it'll be people who will straight up get the ability to grief placed into their hands
