I think having the initials of the person who gave the buff (we
used to use Character numbers for stuff like this) you have a
good way to track usage.
Also if you make the sheet a bit less 'pretty' and put in a few
extra rows for the initials, you can cross out used ones, and
have next casting put in the box after.
example:
Mind Shield: XX _ST_ ___ ___ ___
(with XX representing the initials of the first person to cast
Mind shield on person crossed out.

So, ive taken a closer look at the sheet and had a few
questions. Under other magics section what does Death, and soul
shield refer to? Also, I dont think it will be relevant to put
split my soul on there. Less than 10% of the game will have it,
and that is if anyone ever uses it. Also, if anyone does use it
they wont want to write it down on something that can be seen so
easily since it is the most taboo spell in the game.

To answer that, this is a list of all possible spell effects you
can be subject to that I was aware of, per the tag list that
would have existed.
Regarding people using knowledge of what is on your sheet, that
would be incredibly metagamey. I can't argue some people would
do it, just that I'd be disappointed in anyone who used such
knowledge inappropriately.

Metagaming: Yes people do it, the only ones you have to fear are
the people who say they 'never' do it. It is a game, and if you
can pretend someone is casting flames from his fingers, you can
pretend the guy is not a complete jerk.
If you see something you shouldn't, then do not pursue it, do
not look for ways to 'legitimately' find the information. The
game is based on an honor system, and checks/balances are
required to help keep honest people honest. The fact that we
have a rotating plot team means 'information' needs to be in a
place people can find it, if you have a problem having sensitive
information found out, play a character who does not 'use'
powers you are afraid to let others know about.
It is a challenge not to 'make use' of information you get Out
of Characterly. I find the easiest way to 'not use' information
my character doesn't have is to...not have that information.
People 'staying in character' is the easiest way to 'know' any
information you have is 'IC'.

Death is a spell in Death. Soul Shield should be removed since
its already mentioned in the Shields table. Good call on that
one.

Now that this has been tested out for a game, what do people
think? Keep using it, try something else?

This was only a player test. I printed out 10 of them and handed
a few of the out so its not a final thing. I liked what its
purpose was and it did it well, before we give them to all
players there are a few spells that should be removed from it.
Also, this is something that players should keep up with and not
turn into plots at the end of the game. But yes, I liked it.

Honestly I think that a bigger test sample should be used. I
think it would be good to give it out to more people next game
and see how it holds out over the course of a two-day game.
What are the spells that should be removed from it? As well,
I'm not sure that this shouldn't be handed in to plot at the end
of game. I trust our players to play fairly but if someone had
the mind to it wouldn't be too hard to modify the sheet between
games.

It also would not be hard to modify it in game. We could not
really prove anything if someone did cheat other than if they
had the spell to do it. I guess i think it would make a bigger
hassle than its worth. But im also not going to be doing
character sheets often, so in the end its not a huge deal to me.

You're right that it wouldn't be hard but I think it would be
much easier to verify something that looked fishy if it was
added at a game instead of trying to verify something that was
alleged to have happened the previous game. I suppose we might
just ask people if they think it would be better for players or
plot to worry about it. Back to one of my other points, what
are the spells that you think should be removed from the sheet
and why?
