I don't like the first ability. It seems to defeat its own purpose, as it ends when an enemy uses a skill--and they will choose to take the damage and use the skill, if that even occurs to the typical player as a choice, rather than suffer the curse. So the upgrades to the duration seem useless.

Second ability is alright. But without a strong character design tying it together, I'm not sold on the ability.

Third ability is pretty interesting. Expanding it to all projectiles, and not just gun bullets, seems kind of crazy. 5-7% doesn't seem too bad. I don't know how the community would receive this ability because it relies on chance.

Fourth ability is an interesting take on possession. What I like most about it is how you appear above them after the spell ends. Seems like Sylvanus' Possession from HotS where it's just to manipulate enemy movement. I'd rather see full possession out of a Possession-based ability. I think you could rework the idea of a delayed teleport above an enemy into some other skill.
