^No worries, you've nailed the concept quite well.

Now, as for my own idea...

Name: Shade of Despond (The name's subject to change if I can come up with anything better)

Arcana: The Tower

Appearance: The Shade of Despond, otherwise known as the Shade, takes the form of an eerie, vaguely humanoid shell of a creature. Almost as if a character designer had stopped developing a character halfway through, the Shade is completely devoid of color, facial features, or any noteworthy aspects to speak of.

Abilities: The Shade's main ability allows it to detach parts of its body as transparent particles of light that it can send out to invade inanimate objects or living creatures at faster than eye speeds. Once inside, these particles will allow the user to freely alter the physical stats of the target at will, much like the various status buffs and debuffs seen throughout the Persona and SMT series, albeit with a more flexible degree of control. The Shade is not simply limited to manipulating a subject's attack, defense, or agility, as it can also choose to alter other miscellaneous aspects such as volume, weight, or any of the body's five senses.

However, in exchange for this power, the Shade's physical capabilities are almost nonexistent, practically requiring the user to make use of weapons in order to dish out any sort of meaningful damage. In addition, the Shade's main ability cannot be used on itself or its user, perhaps as a means of symbolizing the user's unwillingness or inability to change.
