I've always wondered why the Doctor needed the Red Crystal to fight you when he had the "limitless power" provided by the Crown. Well, now I've got it.
Think about it. It's stated that Misery forced Ballos to create the crown for her own ends.Then why would she need "powerful magic" when she already possesses powerful magic of her own? My theory is that the Demon Crown's power lies not in brute magical strength but in control.Since it is a construct of Ballos' will, it probably rejected Misery as its wearer (which is one of the reasons why Misery doesn't wear a crown: the other being that a little albino girl wearing an eye-box thing looks ridiculous)
The only beings confirmed so far to have been linked with the Crown are Misery and Balrog. It is also implied in-game that the Crown controls the Frenzied Mimigas, which is how the Doctor is able to infect Mimigas without worrying about his own safety. I also think that the Crown affects its slaves physically. (The game also implies that Misery's aging was stopped by the Crown, though maybe this was also part of Ballos' curse) Balrog may have been the first (or at least an early) slave of the crown, which is how he got turned into a bat-soap bar-toaster thing.
