[ChaosWarlock]

Name: Grappling Hook
Type: Directional/Aiming/Point Target
Targets: Units/Trees/Buildings
Description: The hero shoots out a grappling hook in target direction. The first object that it comes in contact with it hooks on to. It will then either pull the target toward the hero or pull the hero toward the target depending on what type of target it is latched to. Trees and buildings it pulls the hero. Units it pulls the unit.
Extra 1: Could also take it a step further and assign weights to all units and have it pull you toward units that are heavier than you and units that are lighter than you get pulled toward you. If you are a footman and you hit a mountain giant it would pull you toward the mountain giant and the opposite will happen if you are the mountain giant and you snag a footman.

*From Bonghero420's Voodoo Doll ability
Right now, the doll damages itself, so the damage is basically set. So to make it vary and more interesting...

Name: Voodoo Doll
Type: Summon
Targets: Enemy, Hero
Description: Summons a mystic Voodoo Doll to the battlefield. The doll itself has no effect, but it targets the closest enemy hero, and transfers its voodoo magic to the target. The Voodoo Doll can move very slowly, and has an ability to taunt nearby enemies to attack it, with a cooldown of 8 seconds. At the end of its duration, or when it dies, the damage it took is dealt to the enemy hero.
Level 1: 1.5 Second Taunt, 100 MoveSpeed, 250 Maximum Health, Lasts 12 Seconds
Level 2: 2 Second Taunt, 125 MoveSpeed, 350 Maximum Health, Lasts 18 Seconds
Level 3: 2.5 Second Taunt, 150 MoveSpeed, 450 Maximum Health, Lasts 24 Seconds

This way, it also depends on how you use the Voodoo Doll, and can deal low or high damage, instead of set damage. The way you had it before, the whole Voodoo Doll thing was just a cover to make it look nicer, but it was just another DoT skill.

[MasterOfRa]

Name: Nova of Chain Death
Type: AOE Target
Targets: Allys (Indirectly, enemys)
Description: The hero creates a nova of dark energy, that kills all allied units in its area of effect, excluding heros. It then adds up the health the units had before dieing, and multiplies it by X, then casts a red chain lightning on a enemy in range, dealing up to the max health of the enemy unit, and reducing the power of the lighting by the damage dealt, picking a new target within range, and looping until either the lightning disapates, or it runs out of targets, in which case the lightning jumps to the hero and kills it instantly, regardless of the distance.
Cast range: 400
AOE: 450
Bounce range: 650
X: 1.35
Note: these stats can be changed

I think is is a interesting spell, that may be able to criple a enemys army, but if it is used vs a small enemy army, will likly kill the hero

 

[Tom Jones]

Name: Celestial Body.
Type: Instant, channeling, mana consuming.
Targets: Enemy, ground, air, hero.
Description:
Creates an extremely heavy celestial body overhead of the caster which manipulates the gravitational field around it, pulling targets towards it. Any contact with the celestial body will cause it to react fiercely, resulting in an eruption launching the target away from the celestial body, dealing X initial damage and Y damage over T seconds. Targets below P% hp will be instantly evaporated, further fueling the celestial body. Cost M mana per second.

Extra 1: Should look like a mini sun.
Extra 2: Targets should obviously be pulled stronger the closer to the celestial body they are and should of course also be lifted towards it. Targets should also be able to move, attack and cast spells.
Extra 3: Evaported targets should increase both the celestial body's size, gravitational pull, and maybe also increase the mana cost per second.
Extra 4:Targets with the damage over time buff should be immune to the gravitational pull.

 

[roXplosive]

Name : Holy Barrier , Mirror Force
Type : Instant , Mana consuming
Targets : Ally , Hero , Self
Description The ??? summons the divine energy to protect nearby allied heroes from incoming damage . The holy energy creates a blur around the heroes and makes hitting them less accurate leading in a reduction of damage taken by 50% . Also the barrier reflects back to the attacker the full force of the offense (the barrier does damage in the name of the hero protected by it and units killed this way count as protected hero's kills ) and the holy energy contained in it has a small chance to leak into physical attackers converting them into gold for the caster of holy barrier (if they are creeps ofc) .
AoE 800/1200/1600 from the caster (like Roar)
Duration 30 seconds
Chance of Transmuting 2/4/6%

I think an appropriate buff/effect for it would be the BigBadVoodoo on the units affected .

 

[M4st3rM1nd]

Name : DeathWish
Type : Instant, Targeted Ability
Targets : Enemy, Units owned by you (not allied units)
Description: A unit with DeathWish will die within 60 seconds unless Deathwish is dispelled. Knowing that he will die the unit uses every bit of strength he has left to die with honor increasing his attack by 400%.
Dispelling Deathwish will stun the unit for 10 seconds
