[Contest] Best concept for a skill idea for Path of Exile gets a key! [Closed]

Skill name: Ball and Chain

Target: All nearby enemies.

Description: This is an escape skill suitable to any class. Upon activating Ball and Chain, a cupid is summoned. The cupid immediately shoots an arrow into any and all surrounding foes. Affected targets instantly fall madly in love with each other and forget that they ever wanted to heinously murder you. As we all know, relationships can often become very complicated very quickly. Thusly, after a brief (very) romantic interlude, all of our new lovers become immobilized by the inevitable "Ball and Chain" leaving you free to go about your business unharmed.

Visuals: A cute cuddly cupid with heart tipped arrows and fluffy white wings. Floating heart shaped bubbles appear near struck targets. The bubbles pop once the classic wrought iron ball and chain appear.

Sounds: A gong sounds as the cupid appears. Its bow creaks cutely as he draws the string back. The arrows 'thunk' hollowly into their targets. A string orchestra soothes us as the heart bubbles rise. Finally a harsh metal clack as the former lovers are clapped in irons and the bubbles pop.

Flavour text: And you thought it was just a bad cliche.

Skill Name: Barrel Through

Target: One enemy, or one one spot in the ground

Gem Colour: Red

Description: The characters barrels through any enemies between himself and the chosen enemy/spot, dealing damage proportional to his Strength to each one, and knocking them back and down. If he is wearing a shield, he deals additional damage proportional to the defence it offers. If the target is an enemy, then it too is knocked back and down, and is additionally stunned for a short time. Leveling the gem increases damage proportionality for Strength and shield effectiveness, knockback distance, and stun time.

Visuals: Characters runs forward, shield arm first. Enemies are knocked down.

Sounds: Some sort of "RAAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!"

Flavour text: What about the witch? Does she broom through?

Image: No image 8(
Skill name: Chilling Light

Target: Self

Description: The character absorbs light from even the darkest of sources, filling his body with an adherent glow. Along with absorbing light, the character absorbs every bit of coldness around them, slowing and damaging enemies while healing allies.

The spell will have 'charges'. After enemies have been burned 20 times and allies have been healed 10 times, the effect will disappear. If there are no allies, then the effect will end after 10 seconds.

Visuals: An AoE effect around the character has bright light being absorbed into him, looking like a black hole effect, then the character themselves have a strong white glow effect with a hint of blue to signify the chilling effect. When enemies are near the character, they take sustained ice damage, and you see the light leave the character's body to attack enemies and likewise also heal nearby allies.

Sounds: When beginning the spell, a high pitched sound will slowly go down in octaves until it hits a low frequency which will emanate outward into an echo. While the effect persists, you hear an ambient and "cold" sound, almost like ice softly shattering with a low rumble. When it attacks enemies, it makes a sound like a piercing cold wind sound, whereas for allies it makes a peculiar healing spell sound which is similar to ice melting.
