The art wouldn't work with M15 frame for some reason and the modern frame freaked out when I tried to use italics so to Despair X you Discard X cards and lose life equal to their converted mana cost.

Really cool ability! But yeah, michaelmvm is right. It's not a keyword action. Hahaha!

Yours are keyword abilities. Not keyword actions
I'll put the concept of the challenge again:
The challenge is to make a wording that can be replaced with a verb, and make a card that uses that verb in the effect. That verb is called keyword action.
Some of the non-evergreen keyword actions Wizards printed :
Scry, Fateseal, Proliferate, Transform, Detain, Populate, Monstrosity, Vote, Bolster, Manifest
Please check out how they are written on cards!
And gamepedia is also helpful : http://mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/Keyword_action

Here we go (again): An action is something a player does (such as destroying). So purge could be written like this:
{2}: Purge target creature if its combined power and toughness is less than this one's. (To purge, put a card from the battlefield directly into its owner's graveyard.)

Vengeance - Each creature card you exile from your graveyard while casting this spell pays for 1.
- This is really just a more defined Delve, where instead you are restricted to exiling creature cards, so you don't have to face an opponent spamming sorceries and instants to delve for an insane amount. [ Man, I hate it when mana symbols start a new line, especially when that's the only damn thing on the line.
Hey guys, guys! I came up with the perfect new keyword ability, it's called Inconceivable

It doesn't notify me unless you use my actual Username.

@stormbreath It is a keyword action! But your card can be fixed so that it looks more prettier. I commented on your card, so please check out.
Bequeath {cost} ({cost}:Target player gains control of this creature. Bequeath only as a sorcery.)
Similar to Equip in that it can only be used on your turn
Example
Bog Bride

That is not an action. Giving the player control was the action. Equip is an activated ability. It tells you to attach when you activate it. The attach is the action. So technically you made a keyword action, but you confused the issue, and the reminder text is wrong for what you tried to do.
I had an idea.
I HAD AN IDEA
Any keyword action reminder text should be read as "To {ACTION}, (what you do)".
If it can't be written like that, IT ISN'T AN ACTION.
If it has a target, IT ISN'T AN ACTION.
If you put a cost on the action, IT IS AN ABILITY.
END. OF. STORY.
So, don't put the word and a cost. Put the cost, then the word. Simply put, as I've done for every other incorrect entry I've seen:
{B}: Bequeath Bog Bride. Activate this ability only as a sorcery. (To bequeath, have another player gain control of this permanent.)
{B}: Bequeath Bog Bride to target player. Activate this ability only as a sorcery.(That player gains control of this permanent.)
This time I did two, for even more demonstration purposes.
Technically speaking, bequeath would be a substitute for "gain control of", so even this is a stretch, but only because it's unprecedented, not because it's inaccurate.
