One of the really great “until...” options in DFRPG is the simplified fright check rules, and how they can give just blanket -x points in disadvantages. Failing a big fright check from seeing elder things, demons, or angry faeries could easily warp reality or cause a link with such forces to justify getting weirdness magnet, even in play.
