It's pretty clear that both these cards take effect during the draft -- otherwise they couldn't be used to play 6-mind characters and agents, respectively.

Shouldn't the mind of the character played with them therefore be modified as well, since these cards are not considered minor items during the draft? (I know that minor items don't take effect until after the draft is done.)

This card may be played with a starting company in lieu of a minor item. When played as such, reveal it when starting companies are determined as if it were a character. Cannot be duplicated on a given character.

Obviously mind of characters played with these cards is modified.

However:
