Mana per second: 30/20/10
Note: "Follow" in this case refers to when, for example, a unit is ordered to cast a spell on you but is not within casting range.

Targets: Point or Unit, Enemies, Non-Spell Immune
Description: Summons swords made of pure volatile and impale them onto a point/unit dealing minor damage.

Spawning Intervals(Wait time inbetween each sword spawned): 0.25/0.20/0.15/0.10 seconds

When cast on a unit the swords are spawned one at a time and have a travel rate of 900 units per second. Targets may avoid impalement from the summoned sword by moving away. Summoned Swords automatically explode after 2 seconds of hitting a point or unit. A tatic to note is to predict the movement of the enemy unit and to cast it there or to cast it on a unit that is immobile.


Name: Conclusion
Type: Toggled, Spell Trigger for Summoned Swords
Targets: No Targets
Description: With a flick of a rose and a really cool pose all Summoned Swords summoned by your hero explode immediately. Targets impaled by swords take additional damage from explosions based on the number of Swords that are impaled into them. Has a cooldown of 8 seconds on all levels.
Damage Multiplier Calculation: 1% * (Current_Level + Number of swords Impaled + 1)

Notes: Swords which automatically explode DO NOT gain the bonus damage from this spell. Only swords triggered by this spell will deal additonal damage. This spell does no actual damage. It only triggers the swords to explode and allows a damage multiplier to be added. The Damage Multiplication effects ALL explosions. Thus have 4 swords impaled means having 4 modified explosions.

Targets: Enemy, Organic
Description: The Infestor spits acid to an enemy unit dealing initial damage then minor DPS. If the target was infested, a random number of the parasites (Stacks) will hatch and will be under the control of the Infestor.
Parasites: Would be better if they look like the Infestor (Eg - Infestor: Large Spider Parasites Smaller) so that it would suit the third skill.
Parasites: will of course have timed life.

Targets: N/A
Description: As time goes by, The infestor and it's hatchlings grow. Every time the infestor grows by level, it will recieve bonus damage and hitpoints but will have reduced speed. It's hatchlings will also grow and have the same bonuses but will have increased speed.
