I'm not really a fan of its main effect being that it just applies the state of every single ailment from every other add-on. It feels too all-encompassing and reads like a Power description itself.

If I were to suggest a change that I feel would make it worthy of running as an Ultra Rare, this is what I think it should be:

Iridescent King

A glass-like king chess piece molded from the Fog itself. The Entity's embrace reverberating within can break the most powerful minds and bodies.

  • Changes the Shock Therapy ability into an arc of lightning with an 8 meter range and a 1 meter width. In this state, Shock Therapy can damage Survivors.
  • Decreases the amount of Madness afflicted to Survivors that are struck by Shock Therapy by 50%.
  • Removes the ability to stun Survivors or hit through solid objects with Shock Therapy.

Survivors with Madness suffer from the Affliction of Obedience:

  • Madness II: Windows and vault locations become charged with electricity after vaulting them, blocking them for 6 seconds.
  • Madness III: Windows, vault locations and dropped pallets become overcharged with electricity when a Survivor is within 12 meters of their location, blocking them completely.

This would be really fitting of an Ultra Rare add-on and would give Doctor another interesting tool in his arsenal that wouldn't be too broken (relatively speaking) and would implore a more unique playstyle from people who want to use it.

(Also there's a cute little reference for those that have played DbD for a long while.)
