I think the turns earned in a success is too high.

Maybe keep the 5% chance 75, but lower the 20% turn chance...?

Maybe to 50, so 5% chance you make 200k AND a 50 turn profit, 20% you make a 25 turn profit.

It's about double what you would get from the cards used to create it plus the initial turn cost. If you only return what you put into it, the card would be pointless. You are supposed to get an added bonus since it is brewed at the witch hut.

6 Death Pokers give you a 50/50 chance of getting 30 Turns. Why should a voodoo provide less than what the individual cards can do? The whole point of the witch hut cards is to take normal cards and combine them to make newer better cards.

That's too short, maybe 12 hours or 6.

Too short?? 2 hours equals 12 turns generated (1 every 10 mintues) which covers the additional loss risk. I could see 4 max (24 turn) which would be equal to casting cost. Anything more than that would be defeating the risk of the card. And further, if it takes too long to create you will generate the turns from the potential reward just waiting to craft it.
