About poison abuse come to your mind-- IMO 2k poison is fine because his NP gain is relatively low (might as well slower than Salieri in practice), no Oblivion Correction, no Self-Replenishment, no self-buff on NP as well. So can be considered use it to compensate his slower access to NP.

Regarding second skill idea as a whole, maybe it'll be easier if:

"Grants two random effects from the following effects:"

In case you wanted to add more following more reveal from Alcides as he's quite loaded with skills and NP.
