It plays as printed. You may use it one any Methuselah's 8 or older
vampire.
Used on someone else:
They can gain pool equal to the vampires age and allow the vamp
to be burned (with all equipment, retainers, and effects on it), or they
can pay the two pool to keep the vampire.
Used on Yourself:
You can gain pool equal to the vampires age and allow the vamp
to be burned (with all equipment, retainers, and effects on it), or you
can pay the two pool to keep the vampire (if you really need to burn a card!).

Peace Peter,
Yes, Golconda "burns" any one vampire of capacity eight or greater and returns
the full capacity of said vampire to the controlling Meth as additional pool.
It only works on 8+ vamps and the owner gets enough pool to bring out another
vamp or two, so it isn't quite as powerful as it first appears. More of an
annoyance card, if you ask me.

I succeeded at this Golconda move last night. Angus is out with a Soul
Gem. Minion tap Angus for everything. Next turn, Golconda him. Use the
Soul Gem to bring out top vampire from crypt with full blood (happened to
be Andreas).
Net gain: 22 blood (Angus had an extra skill on him) and a full 9
capacity vampire.
In retrospect, I assume the Soul Gem can still be used in this situation?
Works even better if you have a Giant's Blood around somewhere!
