Notes Additional "Dark" is actually the glitchy "Darkness" that is blocked by Shade but nothing else.
Additional "Darkness" activates only when you move second (you always move first in one-player battles) or if you use Shade and it attempts to block Darkness. The additional "Darkness" will always be visible, but it will only do damage if you go second or if you used Shade and it attempted to block Darkness.
Does NOT attack when freezing. Can be equipped with another freezer (this may be dependent on the order in which you equip your items, however).
Attack does not always appear in the Battle Log if your pet is below the INT requirement for freezing.
Special thanks to dfgh5067 for helping us figure out the exact INT threshold.

Price/Power (5/5)
Up to 14 icons with a chance for multifreeze and almost unblockable icons. This isn't broken -at all- *cough.

Countermeasures (2/5)
So this item is only good in 2p and with a person who isn't patient enough to wait you out on sending turns. It feels like it could be easily exploited and lead to fed up parties on both sides of the combat. I'd almost suggest not using this weapon purely on those grounds.

Alternatives, Upgrades or Downgrades
The Magic Gridlock Gun has the same power- but without all the troll nature of this weapon.

Other Points

Final Thoughts
While I appreciate the pun- I certainly don't appreciate the weapon.
