Looking for an idea for a spell (death related)

[Larcenist]

I'm in need of ideas for a final spell for my caster hero. The spell should be somewhat related to death or darkness.

Current spells:

Death Wave:

Sends a Death Wave in a line from a target location, 
dealing 150 damage to anything in it's wake. 
Each unit killed by death wave will increase 
the damage dealt by 25 for the current instance. 
The Death Wave travels a maximum of 800 range.

Screenshot:


Gambling With The Devil:

Pays 15% of the caster's current health to seal a contract with the devil. 
The devil curses a target enemy unit, reducing it's movement speed 
by 25% and damage by 15%, and increases the caster's 
movement speed by 20%. If the target unit dies during the effect 
the caster gain 100 gold and if the caster is the killer he will get either 
additional 50 gold or permanently steal 2 of any of the target's stats. 
If the caster is killed by the target during the effect it will gain 
either 50 gold or permanently steal 2 of any of the caster's stats. 
Lasts 30 seconds or until either the caster or the target dies.

Screenshot:

None

Void:

Summons a Void at a target location, dragging enemy units, 
living of dead inside of it. If a living enemy unit reaches 
the eye of the void, it'll be thrown out from it taking 100 damage, 
while if a corpse reaches the eye of the void it'll be sucked 
into the nether realm, adding additional 0.15 intelligence to the caster. 
The further away from the eye each unit is the slower it will be 
dragged inside. Lasts 6 seconds.

Screenshot:




The spell I'm looking for is a regular, non ultimate spell that'll sync well with the hero. It can be anything, active, passive, offensive, defensive.

How about an aura? Something like:

"Enemy units that die while under the effect of this aura will restore 15 points of the casters mana."

Or:

"Enemy units under the effect of this aura have their health drained and redistributed to nearby allies of the caster."

Love all of the death spells!

Oh, and you can do the Deathfall, and change all of the stars to more like deathly.

I'll give you my description and tooltip.

Spell name: Deathfall
Calls down waves of skulls that damage nearby enemy units. Lasts 30 seconds, 50 damage, and 180 cooldown.

Or you can change the death skulls to something more deathly.

 

[Larcenist]

@ Damien: Yeah I was thinking of an aura, but never really had any idea of what to do with it.

@ 131ackout: Considering this is going into my and some other people's AoS project, I want most spells to be triggered so that I don't end up with lame heroes like DotA's Slardar.

 

[131ackout]

Oh. Im sorry, it just

I'm not good with triggers.

btw, can you add the map?

 

[Magoiche]

what about a Death Spear?

The caster launchs a spear of bones an if the spear kills anything another bone spear will aper an go with the facing angle of the dying unit =D

Looks more of a chain lightning ability.

@ Magoiche: Quite a fun idea acually, I'll see if I'll make this or not.

@ 131ackout: Map attached, but a protected version since I like to keep the codes for myself for now (also peasants kinda walks outside map bounds when they're thrown close to them by void). Also the codes are not altered for scaling with level and there will be a little editing.

 

[131ackout]

Why protected version?

 

[Larcenist]

Because I'mma keep the codes for myself for now. That's so you can check the spells out if you want.

 

[131ackout]

Well

I'm using Molliza Firefox, and when i download that map, it just accessed me to the winrar.

but it was an error.

 

[Larcenist]

Are you saving the file to your computer, or trying to open it with winrar?

 

[Magoiche]

@Larcennist
If you acomplish the spell PM me
I tried to make this spell but failed xD
(I tried it a week after i entered the forum xD)

 

[131ackout]

Well if I tried to save it to my computer

it only saved it to my download list.

and i have another death idea.

Name: Deathfire Strike
Description: Creates a (death and decay) area that stuns the nearby enemies and then conjures an area of black cloud that take damage and makes the nearby units to breate hardly, which gives to:
Undead - 25% damage
Human - 75% damage
Orc - 50% damage
Night Elves - Probably between 25% and 50% damage.

Heh, it needs triggers and you need to make a model for the black clouds. xD

One of my older spellspacks included this.

 Name : Death Weaving
Descriptio : Weaves together corpeses within 1000 range , to create an army of abominations.

1 Corpse : Skeleton
2 Corpse : Zombie
3 Corpse : Ghoul
4 Corpse : Abomination

If you had 15 corpses , it was make 3 abominations and 1 ghoul.  
1 Abomination is powerful as 4 zombies. This applies to all the spawns.
You can always add in abilities.

Very useful for maps like footmen frenzy I guess.

If it's an RPG. You can make a summon that devours corpses and grows stronger and evolves. Also refreshing summon timer when it eats an corpse.

Well, from my knowledge of warcraft maps, spell casters are generaly useless without their mana; so how about some of these spells? They are 'death' related. =)
Might wanna tweak the gains & costs for your particular map, I'm not that good; Actually i'm terrabad at coding so i cant help much there, but i hope you likes the ideas.

[Larcenist]

Great ideas. Something involving mana regain would really benefit this particular hero.

            Else - Actions
                Do Nothing

The triggers are a little raw, but I am sure you could change them to how you want it to appear.

 

[Larcenist]

Quite an odd spell suggestion ^^

No need to do any coding since I'll be doing that in JASS. Keep them ideas coming.

 

[131ackout]

Wanna me give a million death ideas?

lol
