Hero Help: Flame of Andure

[Undead Me]

I'm redoing one of my hero ideas from the top. By the way, this is an RTS type game which focuses on preserving units.

Anyway, here's what I have on this hero so far:

Name: Flame of Andure
Model: Fire Lord (Blue Fire Lord?)
Flavor Text: The race of Muspelli has nearly perished from the earth, but their candle burns faintly on in the hearts and bodies of a few mighty warriors. As fiery in spirit as in spell, and as unquenchable with danger as with water; the Fires of the West burn on.
General Stats: Strength based, but reasonably good Agility and Intelligence
Aesthetic Theme: Fiery Spells with a focus on damage
Strategic Theme: A frontline fighter with limited mana. This hero fights by running up to the front, uses it's high HP to take hits while it pours out a sea of fiery damage, then runs back to hide while the enemy is mopped up.

Current Abilities: Well, I'm deleting all the one's I have. This is what I need your help for. I need creative, interesting, GUI based spell ideas. I can come up with my own eventually, but I'd really like your suggestions. Remember: the spells should be short ranged, involve fire, most should do damage, and they should be innovative and interesting, while not being impossible to make.
Here are the current suggestions I am going to try: Conflagration

Here's a preemptive thanks for all your help guys!

How about an ability called Burning Desire-whenever a nearby unit dies, Andure regains some Hit Points.

The hero sacrifices some of his hit points to deal extra damage temporarily. While this is activated, the hero will take 20% more damage....

The hero hones deep into his soul, and shoots out a constant barrage of fireballs... (credits to Vexorian, he has already made this spell on the hive, in the CS15.3 map)

@nabbig2 remember that this map concentrates on preserving units. There might not be many dead enemies. However, if there was a sort of vampiric aura for spell damage, that is if he gained back life based on how much damage his spells did, I think that would be a great idea. Ty for pointing out that HP recovery will be a big thing with this guy. Now how do I trigger such a thing?

@jig7c I like the second idea. But what do you mean by "shoots out a constant barrage of fireballs"? What exactly should the spell do?

You set the Hit Points of the Unit to the (Hit Points of the Unit)+5 for example
Sorry I don't have WE out right now.

 

[Undead Me]

But how do I keep track of the damage dealt with spells and convert that into healing? It's the damage tracking I really don't get.

 

[nabbig2]

Oh, for that you need a damage detection system. I don't know much about those.

I just know how to heal if a unit gets killed.

 

[Undead Me]

If anyone knows how to work a passive that heals based on the spell damage you do I'd love to know!

 

[PrisonLove]

How about a spell that lights one unit on fire, if that unit dies while on fire it explodes and all enemy units around him will ignite, and so on and so forth?

 

[Undead Me]

A good idea Prison. I shall call it Conflagration if I use it.
