When you spend a day of downtime reading from the blasphemous pages of a vile book, roll +WIS. On a 10+ the GM will tell you a valuable and useful piece of information regarding the book’s subject. On a 7-9, as above, but also select one below:
* You read about a particularly disgusting ritual, take the Sick Debility (cannot choose this if you are already Sick).
* You read about infernal forces, the knowledge of which plagues your thoughts. Take the Confused Debility (cannot choose this if you are already Confused).
* A foul presence touches your mind. This is most certainly “unwelcome attention!”
* The book disintegrates in your hands.
None of those are conditional sucesses, so do you get the 10+ as well as one of those?
On any success “the GM will tell you a valuable and useful piece of information regarding the book’s subject”.
Then you only need to reword it a bit. “A success” made me think that was 10+ only.
Thanks Eric, reworded it, let me know if it’s still not clear.
Eric Duncan The wording in the book is usually “on a hit.” That’s assumed to be anything 7+, including “strong hits” (10+)
10+ The GM will tell you a valuable and useful piece of information, 7-9 also pick one:

Other than the wording, its a nice change in use of the debilitated
Robert Doe I changed the wording again, hopefully this is the epitome of clarity for this move
Awesome. I’m all for change and experimenting, but some things are best kept to a standard.
Again, well done on the move.
Debility is usually physical, rather than mental weakness however.
Not in my games Peter Cobcroft
Peter Cobcroft in my game, debilities are more often magical
Oh the beauty of TableTop games.
