I don't know what's appropriate icon for skill with no defining effect like that, I think its fine.

I myself consider gimmick as something good to define an unit; it also help keeping them from being 'overloaded with no consequences because author said so' (like Merlin and Eresh), while also providing more option under available playstyle.

OTOH. It also able to gave good deal of challenges when fighting them as a boss with less reliance to things like Barrier.

Imagine him as boss, to learn that maybe two of your party members gone every four turns; no fancy crits, just death. LOL. Nice that current support have instant-kill immunity that balanced the idea.
