Need Spell Ideas for undead heroes.

[Man-o-Bomb]

Hello nice people who wanna help an editor in need of spells!

The map is a Players vs. monsters game.
My map got (so far) 4 kinds of heroes. Each hero got 3 stages and will start with 3 basic spells (Level 1, 4 levels), will get ultimate stage 2 (Level 6 spell, 3 levels) and omega stage 3 (Level 10 spell, 1 level).
Note: Basic skills and ultimate skills will get better when leveling up stage.

Makes the heros attack regenerate hp equal to 20/40/60/80% of damage dealt.

Sends a swarm of souls to target location. The souls will eat the flesh of all targets they find, dealing 25 damage per second for 3/5/7/9 seconds. If the enemy dies under this effect, the soul will posses the remaining bones, creating a skeleton that will serve the necromancer.
Banshee
Ranged, Int (Healing and Buffing).

While the banshee is channeling, all enemys in targeted area will start attacking each other.

[Man-o-Bomb]

Btw. How do i make the +100% attack thing?

 

[Dinowc]

Necromancer

Raise dead [Stage 1] (I know, too simple, but this is the primary spell for every necromancer )
Targets a location raising any dead unit within the target circle into skeletons for 20 seconds. Skeletons deal 150% of raised unit's damage and have 200% of raised units hp.

Shadow wave [Stage 1]
Sends a wave of death at target location damaging and cursing every enemy unit that gets hit. While cursed, they will take 50% damage return and will have 25% chance to silence themselves on attack for 4 seconds.

Confuse [Stage 1]
Curses group of enemies making them attack each other for 6 seconds. Duration increases per level, while mana cost decreases.

Decrepify [Stage 2]
A curse that slows enemies by 40% and causes them to take 33% more damage from attacks for 10 seconds. If they die during the curse, they will explode damaging every nearby enemy unit.

Flesh creature [Stage 3] (channeling)
Uses bones and flesh of nearby dead units and merges them to form a monster.
Monster type and might depends on number of corpses (you could create a giant skeleton, a lich, a frost wyrm, an abomination...). Search on hive for different bone-fleshy units.
Can also sacrifice raised skeletons to form a monster (each skeleton is counted as 2 corpses).

Necromancer

Consume Soul (single target burst) (stage 1)

Demonic Harvest (active Summoning) (stage 1)

[Bloodcount]

Banshee
Ranged, Int (Healing and Buffing).

Agony Scream- The banshee screams out a verry special hypnotical sound that contains all of her pain and hate for all living beengs. For evry undead(or ally) unit it touchs it heals it for 100/175/225 points and demiges for the same value.
Mana cost 75/95/115. Cooldown: 7

Web of Souls
The banshee binds 3/4/5 units together. When they get healed, they share 20/30/40 of the heal with eachother. When they get demiged, the main targer gets 70/60/50% of the dmg. THe other dmg is given to the targets, but can't kill them. The web of souls lasts for 15/20/25 seconds. If a member of it dies, the web is broken


Premature Berial. Each time the Banshee casts a spell she gets one charge of the premature berial spell. Max 2/4/6 charges. When used to an alide hero each charge gives 10dmg heals for 30hp and gives 3 armor. When used to an enemy unit, it reduces it stats by the same stats. The Buff lasts for 15 seconds.

Soul Shatter When a unit is casted a spell on by the banshee, if he is allied his atack and moovment speed increase by 10/20/30% for 5 seconds. If the unit is hostile the atack speed is reduced by 10/15/20% and moovment speed by 5/10/15

 

[Razed]

Btw. How do i make the +100% attack thing?

You could put the affected units in a Unit Group variable and remove them from it after 5 seconds.

Then with some sort of (handwritten) trigger:

Events - A unit is attacked
Conditions - Attacked unit is in Unit group
Actions - Set life of attacked unit to (life of attacked unit - amount of dmg?)

Never done much with such triggers, but there is a way to do that.

 

[Man-o-Bomb]

Necromancer

The Forgoten Army (Target)
Creates a 4 skeletons from the corpses nearby and order them to attack the targeted unit for 5 attacks
Cooldown: 40 seconds
Mana Cost: 140

 

[sjakie]

Fine then, I'll give a shot at the Necromancer:

Raise Skeleton (Active, autocast, target corpse)
Using dark magic, the Necromancer raises the skeleton of a fallen unit and uses him as his undead slave in combat. This skill raises a random kind of skeleton (Warrior, Mage, or Archer) depending on which ones you already have. The Skeletons last untill destroyed.

Level 1 - Raises a weak skeleton. Up to 2 warriors, 1 mage, and 1 archer may be controlled at a time.
Level 2 - Raises a average skeleton. Up to 3 warriors, 1 mage, and 2 archer may be controlled at a time.
Level 3 - Raises a strong skeleton. Up to 4 warriors, 2 mage, and 2 archer may be controlled at a time.
Level 4 - Raises a very strong skeleton. Up to 5 warriors, 2 mage, and 3 archer may be controlled at a time.

^These 2 spells come with eachother^

Return (Active, target AOE)
Even animated dead still contain a small amount of magical force. A skilled Necromancer is aware of this and can draw upon that energy in times of need. The Necromancer targets a 450 AOE, instantly killing all his skeletons in that area, but returning life and mana to him for each skeleton.

Level 1 - 15 health and mana each skeleton.
Level 2 - 30 health and mana each skeleton.
Level 3 - 45 health and mana each skeleton.
Level 4 - 60 health and mana each skeleton.

Pain for Pleasure (Active, single target)
The Necromancer is a sadist in every bit of his wicked mind. By channeling his corrupt energies into any unit, friend or foe, he can gain a percentage of the damage that unit takes in mana.

Level 1 - 15% of the damage taken in mana. Lasts for 8 seconds.
Level 2 - 20% of the damage taken in mana. Lasts for 10 seconds.
Level 3 - 25% of the damage taken in mana. Lasts for 12 seconds.
Level 4 - 30% of the damage taken in mana. Lasts for 14 seconds.

Black Cloud (Active, target AOE, channeling)
The Necromancer calls forth horrid, black clouds that burn and suffocate enemies in the target 500 AOE. The intensity of the clouds depends on the time the Necromancer takes to channel them. The clouds lasts for the time the Necromancer has channeled, plus an additional 8 seconds afterwards.

Level 1 - Channels for up to 2 seconds, adding 10 DPS for each channeled second.
Level 2 - Channels for up to 3 seconds, adding 10 DPS for each channeled second.
Level 3 - Channels for up to 4 seconds, adding 10 DPS for each channeled second.
Level 4 - Channels for up to 5 seconds, adding 10 DPS for each channeled second.

Bone Prison (Active, single target)
The Necromancer forces bones to rise from the ground and pierce the opponents body in place. Every time an unit dies within 300 range of the imprisoned enemy, 0.5 second is added to his imprisonment time.

Level 1 - Deals 20 damage per second and starts with a 2 second duration.
Level 2 - Deals 30 damage per second and starts with a 2.5 second duration.
Level 3 - Deals 40 damage per second and starts with a 3 second duration.
Level 4 - Deals 50 damage per second and starts with a 3.5 second duration.

Ballad of the Hedgehog (Activate, Deactivate)
The Necromancer uses dark magic to rapidly launch magical needles into the area around him to puncture nearby enemies as if they were dolls. When the needles hit allies however, they stich their wounds and heal them. Multiple needles can hit the same target.

Level 1 - Drains 6 mana per second. Fires 2 needles at random units per second, each dealing 16 damage or healing 16 health.
Level 2 - Drains 9 mana per second. Fires 3 needles at random units per second, each dealing 19 damage or healing 19 health.
Level 3 - Drains 12 mana per second. Fires 4 needles at random units per second, each dealing 22 damage or healing 22 health.
Level 4 - Drains 15 mana per second. Fires 5 needles at random units per second, each dealing 25 damage or healing 25 health.

Elite Death Knight

[Death's Will]
Death Knight slashes his enemy with a cursed blade. Dealing damage increased by his strenght. Also gives a chance increased by inteligence of the hero to curse target, increasing damage dealt to target by 10%.
