"Darksteel Mutation" is an enchantment aura card in Magic: The Gathering that has a unique effect on the enchanted creature. Here's how the card works:

When you cast "Darksteel Mutation," you target a creature to enchant. Once it's enchanted, the enchanted creature undergoes a significant transformation. It becomes an Insect artifact creature with a base power and toughness of 0/1. In addition, the enchanted creature gains the ability of "indestructible," meaning it cannot be destroyed by damage or effects that would normally destroy creatures.

However, the transformation comes with a drawback. The enchanted creature loses all other abilities it had before becoming an Insect artifact creature. It also loses its original card types (like creature, enchantment, etc.) and its creature types (like Human, Elf, etc.). Essentially, the creature is stripped of its former identity and abilities, becoming a powerless and indestructible Insect artifact creature.

The artwork by Daniel Ljunggren depicts the transformation of a creature into a metallic insect, showcasing the concept of being made "infinitely powerless" through the process of the Darksteel Mutation.
