If the plasma grenade does not stick at all during its flight, then it sticks onto the ground for 1.6 seconds before dealing damage to enemy units within 300 range of the blast.

[Necrach]

Came up with the idea for a spell contest, but it was full of bugs and glitches so I didn't have the time to finish it before the contest was over, so I never posted it there

Name: Haunt
Type: damage, buff, explore
Targets: Single enemy*
Description: Gives an enemy unit a buff called Haunted. Also creates a random number of ghosts (2-3/4-6/5-8 ghosts summoned.) Every ghost appears at a random unit currently under the effect of the Haunt buff and starts to follow it and attack it (the ghosts has the Locust ability.) All ghosts on a Haunted unit dissapears if the unit dies or the duration of the buff ends. The buff last 60 seconds (on heroes as well) and the spell has 11 secs. cooldown. EDIT: Forgot to tell that the buff itself slows movement speed and grants vision of the target!
The ghosts:
The ghosts has an own duration of 35 seconds, then they dissapear. They deals 4-5 damage on each attack, attack cooldown 1.90
Each ghost summoned gets a random color, granting a special ability. You should know that the ghosts have the Voidwalker model, so different colours are nice. Here is the colours and their effects:
Purple - Corruption (decrease armour)
Green - Venom (damage over time)
Blue - Feedback (drains mana)
Red - Faster movement speed and attack range (harder to get away from)
Yellow - Slow (decrease attack speed, NOT movement speed)
Black - +2 damage, has chaos damage (other ghosts have Spell damage)

Example: Thought this could be needed. Say you cast Haunt lvl 1 at an enemy, then he gets the Haunt buff and 2-3 ghosts appears to attack him, each with a random color. When you then cast the spell again but at another enemy, that enemy will get Haunted as well. Now 2-3 ghosts will appear, but not necesserily at the enemy you targeted, but some of the ghosts might as well appear by and attack that first target. So then when you use the spell the third time soon, the ghosts will be randomly split between those three targets (if they all still has the buff.) You can, ofcourse, cast the spell at the same unit again renewing the buff and creating ghosts as normal.

Name: F*@# Off! (or Go Home)
Type: Target
Targets: Single Enemy (Probably a hero)
Description: Instantly sends targeted unit 'home' to their starting location- or to whatever location is suitable. Level increases decrease mana cost and cool down. Possibly an ulti. A good one to mix up the battles.

Extra 1: Could edit so it affects allied players as well, although obviously not the casting unit.


Name: Deafen
Type: Target
Targets: Single enemy
Description: Makes target unit (probably a hero) unselectable to its controlling player (The unit is deafened so that you can't talk to them). It will usually be used like a stun... I just think that stuns are overpowered. Increased level increases duration 3/4/5/6 sec. Possibly decreases mana cost if you like.
Extra: Can make AOE at higher levels if you think its underpowered

 

[Warchild-NC]

Name: Reflect
Type: Buff
Targets: Self, Targeted Allies
Description: Surrounds the target and gives a 25% chance to Reflect any spell back apon its caster.
Duration: 10, 15, 20
Cooldown: 30, 20, 10

Tool Tip: Summons all your mental fortitude to give a 25% chance to reflect a hostiles spell back to them, doing damage to the hostile caster. Duration 10, 15, 20. This spell has a cooldown of 30, 20, 10

 

[polishgenius]

Name: Intervene
Type: Targeted, single enemy attacking one of your units
Description: Can only be used on an enemy attacking one of your units. Teleports the caster instantly to the targeted unit in a beam of light, healing the unit, and knocking back all nearby enemies a large distance. Deals damage to the targeted enemy based on the distance when you cast the spell. More distance = more damage.
Note1: I'm picturing this as sort of a holy hero spell, made to save distant units from certain death.
Note2: I think the distance to damage formula probably needs to be a square root function, and might even need to be capped somewhere. We want it to be great at very long range, but not unfair.
