... I mean, it's the same thing as having a purposefully dull blade on your sword to decrease the chances of seriously hurting a sparring opponent, or holding back when launching a magical attack. You can still hurt/kill, yeah, but the chances are lowered by purposeful mechanics. I think that having parts that are debuffs rather than buffs would also allow for more interesting RP when it comes to events (ie a weapon being damaged and thus forcibly having a debuff part put on it), so... nah. I'm still for the concept.
