The Spell Idea Thread

[dragonhord]

All good. Just thought I'd let you know.
Name: Cry of the Fallen
Type: AoE Buff
Description: The hero unleashes a piercing cry, calling upon the strength's of his fallen brothers. For each allied unit that has died around the hero, units surrounding the hero gain +x damage, +x armor, +x health, and +x mana.
Extra 1: You can make the health damage armor and mana based on the stats of the unit that has died or just make them base, I suppose the basing it off the units that died would probably be cooler, but also more complicated. Just seems like an interesting thought to me.
Extra 2: Probably an ultimate.

 

[Lobster]

Name: Obsidian armor
Type: Passive
Description: The heros armor absorbs energy every second, but gains more energy every successful attack.
Extra: energy as in mana. A skill that you automaticially start with.

 

[skyblader]

Name: Overpowered
Type: Passive
Targets: Enemy heroes
Description: Gives X% chance on an attack to destroy a random item in the opponent's inventory if the opponent has 6 items in the inventory.
% chance: X= 1%/3%/5%

Name: Vanish
Type: On/off
Targets: Self
Description: Becomes invisible at the cost of Xx% of his max hp, losing X% of current hp and mp per second. Attacking or casting spells DOES NOT break the invisibility. When hp or mp reaches 10% of max hp or mp, it is automatically turned off. The skill costs 50% of your max mp, avoiding people from suiciding too frequently.
X%:5/4/3
Xx%:50/45/40
Mana cost: 50% of max mp
Hp deduction: Xx% or max then X%/s of current till 10% of max
Mp deduction: X%/s of current till 10% of max
Explanation: For short if you do not understand, means if you turn it on, Xx% of your hp is gone, and you lose X% of your hp and mp per second till you have only 10% of your max left. So turning it on and off twice kills you.
Extra: Might be hard to trigger.



Edit: I made a really high cost because permanent invisibility while attacking is really imbalanced. Well, let's just change 50% of max to 505% of current.

Name: Spirit Bond
Type: Summon
Targets: Ground
Description: The caster summons the embodiment of his or her soul into physical form. The summoned unit has Heal, Spell Immunity, and has a permanent Spirit Link. If your soul should die, the caster will also die, and vice-versa. If the soul is attacked, then the caster suffers a mini-stun per attack, but the attacker loses HP for every hit dealt.
Extra 1: Too much Golden Compass is my problem. Probably better as a passive ability, rather then an actual spell.
