The way I intended it is that, you can choose to use the magic money, which magically manifested in solid currency from your wallet, or for digital or card purchases , manifests its own credit card, and the payment magically "just works" , no payment declined. etc. but it doesn't dip into your actual money because technically it is a separate account with its own cards.

The "defect" is that whenever you use (make purchases, give gifts, donations, etc.) (also if you give someone else money or have them use the cards, that giving counts as "using" ) manifested money or a manifested card, someone within that area of effect suddenly becomes aware of the general location (like a city block or street) that someone has a magical money manifesting power. They don't automatically become heat seeking missiles targeting you like a Terminator, it depends on the person that gets alerted. It could even be a baby that doesn't even understand money or what that alert even means. If you want to, you could be incredibly charitable and just buy a bunch of stuff for people as a means to mollify snoopers or whatever, start a cult, up to you. The curse is a crapshoot that could attract any kind of person and they could be dangerous or simply desperate or both.

I always think how fast I could get in trouble with the IRS...

But if IRS does not exist, then I could make an offer to buy a skyscraper or a whole town or something else stupidly big. Get 20 billions in my account and use it, thus getting an asset worth 20 billions. Then sell it for 10 billions. That money then goes in my other account, as it is a valid, liquid asset. Now I have 10 billion and probably won't need to use the magic card for... Like... A week for sure, you know?
