I appreciate that you point out which tokens changed.

I like that you're reusing the Very Basic joke, it's a good one.

Out of curiosity, why does the Crazed Evoker Lenses say "may deal +3 damage" instead of just "deals +3 damage"? Do you see circumstances where we won't want it to deal the bonus damage?

Just in case the damage would kill a character, it needs to say "May".

Jeff, that makes sense. But, since it is only once per room, couldn't the character just not choose to activate it if it were going to kill them? Also, the way it's written, it sounds like when activated the +3 damage to the spell is optional, but the 2 points of damage to the character is not optional.

Maybe say "When activated, +3 to Damage Spell but wearer takes 2 points of dmg (1/room)"

My question is: Can the player activate the spell damage, even if they only have 2 hp? In other words, is it okay for the character to die while using this ability?

Or, can they do it with 1 HP left? Ashenne's has this restriction "Wizards may not die from MP/AMP usage as they currently must have at least one more hit point than the total hit points lost to the MP/AMP(s) used on a Spell", but that is sacrificing HP while this is taking damage.

Yes...a character can kill herself if she wishes to do so.
