I mean, looking at the "Iconic characters" in the back of basic, C31R07 has "humble", which is going to be really hard to use, Dai has "overconfidence", which will also be hard, D'Antares has gambling and overconfidence, which are a little more workable, but gambling will take time. Headly has ... almost nothing, Iotha has only jealousy, which has no CR, Sora looks safe, xing has gluttony, which is... workable with time. The Baron is an idea target, but he's a vampire, what did you expect?

As a final rundown, of the iconic characters, three have nothing to target, one has the "flaw" humble, two have flaws that will take time, two have flaws that require a nice set up (overconfidence), and one is a nice target.

I would bump up the discount quite a bit. You are extremely limited in who you can target and how you can target them.

A -20% Accessibility means that it works between 44% and 56% of the time. Out of eight iconic characters, it can't hit three. 3 immune out of 8 possible targets means it works 62.5% of the time. As such, -20% is too high and so it should be a -15% limitation instead. (Powers, pg 99)
