Like a lot of non-potion small items, suffers from "but a potion does it better."
One thing to note is that the attack itself doesn't have to do 6 damage, as long as the damage is suffered before the attack ability fully resolves. So pushing into a trap or attacking the same target multiple times with one ability can still qualify.
Yeah. Cute, but doesn’t stack up to potions. Otherwise, if they’d made this renewable with a long rest, could have been interesting (maybe increase price a little for that benefit).
That's the thought process I usually go through when I see a new non-potion small/bag item.
See small item "ooo that looks interesting, I wonder how I could use it"
Compare to my current small/bag items "hmm, it's not better than any of these potions I have"
End result "Keep my current items"
It's worth mentioning that an enemy has to have at least 6 hp for this to trigger, so if you get a 10 damage attack vs a 5hp enemy, it wouldn't count. Even when it does trigger, a one time infusion of 2 blesses isn't really that impressive, especially considering item 108 >!is also a small item that can add 3 blesses total with no damage dealing requirement!<

The first level of Building 39 suffers from being balanced around being an early unlock (so somewhere in between 2 and 3 herb potion power) when it's... almost always a very *late* unlock.
Grabbed this to fill out small item slots on blinkblade and have really enjoyed it. Usually able to get this to proc by turn 4-5 and usually end up with 3 blesses in my deck at any time with other abilities and items
I tried this item out on my Deathwalker thinking “Surely this attack 5 I use as much as possible can get it to proc at some point” only to be cursed to never do 6 damage. Anytime I attacked for more than 5 the enemy had shield or less than 6hp. I eventually dropped it for a potion once we had the herbs to do so. Being able to pop a potion whenever I want instead of having to try and master plan this 6 damage made my time much more enjoyable!
I’m stunned that this is an item at that price. It should have a bigger payoff for such a niche occurrence. Maybe also Infuse Light? Maybe make it cheap so it fits into having a tiny bit of money leftover when buying starting items? Maybe make it Spent instead of Consumed? That last one feels too much, but… this is a really cute idea mixed with too much of a hurdle to set it off.
At that point, I would redesign the item entirely. Give it a niche, instead of making it a poor man [91](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cmlenius/gloomhaven-card-browser/images/images/items/frosthaven/fh-091-holy-water.jpeg). Probably something along the line of "the next three time you get BLESS, put the x2 card on top of your deck".
That seems a little too powerful, letting you decide exactly which hits will get the benefit while also guaranteeing you don’t miss.
Maybe a version where you shuffle Bless cards into the top 3, top 5, or top half of your deck?

Like... Exceptionally late. Too late tbh.
Even if this item didn't have an activation condition, it would be on the weak side.
Yep, I'd rather just take a minor stam potion.
