For anyone curious: https://github.com/BertoldVdb/sdtool is a tool to for that. I may or may not have bricked a card while toying around with in on a Pi :)
Do you mean brick because you turned on permanent write protection (and it worked) or do you mean the card just completely died for unknown reasons?
It turned on write protection. It was a while ago, so I don’t remember exactly, but things got weird as the OS assumed writes got persisted while in reality they just got completely ignored. Was a fun experiment.
