Weaponized logicillin? by

The PPC wiki defines logicillin as:
A medication that helps to cure Sue-related infections and ward off Sueish traits. It is taken by ex-Sue agents, rescued children of Sues, and recruited OCs with Sueish tendencies.
Could this be used to temporarily reduce the power of a Sue in order to make it easier to assassinate? -

This is why I wish we had a better-referenced Wiki... so from the name, I'd guess logicillion applies logic to the Suvian-ness to make it go away. That suggests that giving it to an unreformed Suvian would essentially have a milder version of Reality Room effects.
-Unnatural abilities would be weakened.
-Characters who liked them for no reason would go off them.
-Impossible colours and the like would be muted.
-Impossible biology would start to be rejected.
&c &c. The best place to use it would be when something has happened in the story that would directly debilitate them - for instance if the Suvian has had a transplanted arm grafted onto them, logicillin would likely cause immediate rejection.
Alternately, maybe it acts as a sort of internalised Reality Room - it helps ex-Suvian agents by making them see/feel the illogic of what they were before. By that measure, you could use logicillin poisoning to shatter a Suvian's worldview. Imagine them falling to their knees in front of their designated Lust Object, yelling, "Why was I even after you? You're not interested in meeeeee--!"
And then they get shot in the head. Because PPC.

Is that in-line with Logicillin's observed effect? by

I don't think I remember seeing it in an actual story; you'd probably want to hunt down a reference to it and find out what it's said to do to its patients, then extrapolate that to a full-blown Suvian.

I am... not sure. But here's my take on it:
Yes, Logicillin might make a Sue easier to defeat. It should definitely have funny side effects. However, within a Sue-warped canon, a sufficiently powerful Sue may be able to shake off the effects. It's hard to say, and I'd take it on a case-by-case basis on rule of funny (or rule of drama, if you're Iximaz. :-P) -
Also, some might be able to sense that it's there. by

I'm assuming this would result in just having to weaken them some other way or outright assassinate them, but if there's any other effects on a the success on a mission that that could pose, call them out.
