[X] Weight of Want

I think this is very succinct in what the art does.

It hightens or lessens the 'weight' of a target's desires. The target becomes reluctant to use their resources because they are too metaphorically heavy to use.

(but most importantly, we get "wow" as the acronym :p )
 
[X] My Precious
[X] Mine Mine Mine
[X] Not a Rainy Day

If you've been saving for a rainy day, it's not today, I swear.
 
I really like the idea of

[X] Riches Unremembered and Unused

But it feels too... Wordy...
So, alternative :

[X] Riches Unused

As a bonus I do like both of

[X] Budget Cuts
[X] Austerity Measures
 
I like this also!

[X] Riches Unremembered and Unused

Hrmm other good ones

[X] Plucking Heartstrings: First Sin
[X] The Dragon's Curse
[X] Plucking the Purse Strings
[X] The Nearsighted Miser's Gaze

just the ones I like so far

[X] Riches Unused
[X] Weight of Want
[X] Thief's feint

I don't like the Dragon's Curse because there are two other things about dragons in setting I would give priority as the dragon's curse over greed: the literal curse of the Nameless that limits dragon birthrate, and their compulsive need for hierarchy.
[x] Chains of Desire
[x] Elixir Syndrome

I'm really liking the Miser name, as it illustrates the tech's effects pretty well.
But I still also like Compulsive, as it indicates an overwhelming Want that takes control of your actions and thoughts despite your best efforts and interests. Very fitting.

Miser's Compulsive Hoard may be too much of a mouthful though.
[X] Miser's Folly
[X] Miser's Compulsive Hoard
[X] Plucking the Purse Strings
 
I don't have a lot of ideas for this art, but I would like to remember everybody about the Hui Corpse-Immortal we've found (and stole from), and how the art can relate to that to foster the conversation

"When a cultivator reaches the end of their span, they may attempt to cling on regardless, this is the result," Xia Lin hissed. "Mind and spirit rots along with the body, leaving an increasingly mad thing focused on whatever task it had obsessed over in life."

"Such things can be unpredictable… but their obsessions consume them, and can make them easy to trick if one plays to their delusions," Xia Lin said, warily eyeing the creature. "...It may once have been a higher realm, but the older a corpse, the more its power has rotted. No corpse Immortal lasts more than a century or so. I believe we can eliminate it, particularly with a hard first strike."

how about, instead of chains of greed, we do Chains of Compulsion to lean on the mental disorder aspect (obssessive-compulsive disorder)?

[X] Chains of Compulsion

plus:
[X] Weight of Want
[X] Budget Cuts
[X] The Dragon's Curse

Your quotes make me think of

[X] Cling to Clink

Where 'clink' can mean the clink of coins, but also the clink of chains.

[X] Hoarder's Hell
[X] Mine Mine Mine
[X] My precious
[X] Value in Vain
[X] Never Notice Need
[X] For Want of a Nail

[X] Plucking the Purse Strings

Just my favorite. The image of plucking the purse strings to make someone more guarded, to make them wary of spending or reaching for their purse, to make them react for us to see what they do.
