I have burned up all my creative energy today and I need some spell ideas. I'm looking for trigger enhanced and/or dummy unit kind of spells that are cool or creative :)

For example,
Rolling Storm
Casts a thunderstorm that travels slowly in a straight line from the caster, lightning strikes all units under the storm as it passes by for somekind of damage.


The mechanics for that would be like, when the hero casts the spell it creates a invisible dummy unit that casts a monsoon spell where its standing, then have a trigger order it to progressively cast it across a defined offset or have the dummy unit actually move and cast it. But yeah, you get the idea :D

Just rough ideas for some sweet spells are more than enough and very appreciated. <3

Mix Blizzard and Bloodmage's Firemagic, whatever it's called

some time, long ago, I made some spell called burrow strike. The caster burrowed, and followed the target under the ground, damaging and slowing everone in his path slightly, and then when he came within range of his target, he impaled the target and dug himself up next to him. His other spells (which I didn't finish) was some kind of mass sleep and a passive that allowed him to attack sleeping units with 10/20/30/40 percent of his real damage or something like that. His ultimate was Shift Break, if I remember right, made some enemy units levitate slowly to be thrown back on the ground, creating some kind of shockwaves to every direction, with some nice special effects here and there. You can snatch any of this if you like since I'm not going to finish my map.

Hm... well i have a coupple of ideas

1Poison infernal.A meteorit slams the ground(like infernal) and poisons evrything in it's range
2 SoulShatter- the target has a 25% chance that it will do double dmg and banish it's victim for 3.25 sec.
3 BlueRose- the casteruses his powers to freze the soul of a target.-Baisicly you freeze someone and drain his health and mana, after the spell is finished the target will suffer armor reduction.
4 (ULTIMATE) Lucifier-After eaach hit there is a 30% chanse that a fire bolt will hit the target(200DMG+66 dmg over 6 seconds)

Mind control

-takes control of a enemy hero (or other unit targeted) for few seconds....
during that possessed hero takes damage over time and cannot be attacked by the owner of casting unit (can be attacked by an ally of owner of casting unit)

I am waiting for help and i have some free time so i'll think up some more.I decidet to make the spells as if thy would be for a hero

1SpectralFang-the caster sends out ghoustly hounds(number increase per level)who bite the target(DMG+stun)
2 Dimentional rift-(passive)15% to open a dimentional rift that demiges all enemy units in a AoE and swols them for 3sec.
3HearthRend-The caster tries to tore off the targets heart-3sec casting time big cooldown and big mana cost but kills unit if cast on hero the hero loose 50% of his max hp
4(ultimate)SoulReaver-The caster rips the soul from his body and uses it as a weapon.Baisiclly this spell drains up all of your mana and adds it t oyour DMG.To make things more interesting i sugjest putting away some hp(15% max hp lost during the spell)

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
