[Hero Concept] Mambo - Voodoo priestess

Main idea - Global damage character:
Everything centers around her Voodoo Dolls, which she can only create by getting in close range. Once a doll is created of a character they are "cursed" and can now be effected by Mambo's abilities.
All her abilities can only effect "cursed" players (and NPC's), and her ult sacrifices all her dolls (releasing all the curses) to deal large damage to cursed players no matter where they are on the map.

Abilities:
  1. Wicked Craft- Create a voodoo doll from single target (in very close range), and applies short silence. Target is now "cursed" as long as doll exists.
    • HUD should display a "doll" icon next to cursed player portraits, everyone should be able to see this
    • Cursed players deal reduced spirit damage to Mambo
    • Doll still remains even after a player dies
    • All dolls are lost if Mambo dies
    • Only 1 doll can exist of each enemy, but ability can still be reused for its silence effect
  2. Lob projectile which does splash damage to cursed enemies (more if hit directly)
  3. Bleed - Break dolls of cursed enemies within a certain radius of Mambo, apply periodic damage over time
  4. Sacrifice - Break all dolls to deal large spirit damage to all cursed players, no matter where they are on the map
This has a nice 1, 2, 3 combo, and I think her having to get in close range to each character first before using the global ult is a nice tradeoff. And the 3rd ability also incentivizes her to waste the dolls too, which helps to balance it.

This is a rough idea, and of course welcome to any suggested changes. I'm also fine with someone just taking any of these ideas and running with it, because I have no artistic ability to create anything more than a textual description.
I just felt that this game could use at least 1 global damage ult, and also that some kind of voodoo character would fit the setting.
