Type: Toggled, Defensive
Targets: Enemy

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.

The same applies to attackers too far away or even units ordered to Move on you.

 

[neo34rd]

Name: Flourish
Type: Active, Damage, AoE
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. The sword will stick onto the point/unit and explode dealing damage to a small AoE after a few seconds later. 450 AoE on all levels. Explosions will cause nearby Summoned Swords to explode as well. 800 Cast Range with no casting delay. Has a 12 second cooldown on all levels.
Impale Damage:10/10/15/20 Per Sword
Explosion Damage:10/10/15/20 Per Sword
Number of Swords Spawned: 4/6/6/8
Spawning Intervals(Wait time inbetween each sword spawned): 0.25/0.20/0.15/0.10 seconds
Mana Cost: 50/75/125/150
Notes: When cast on a point the swords are randomly summoned one at a time in a small 250 AoE from the target point cast. 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)
Mana Cost: 25/50/75/100
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.


Name: Dazzle
Type: Passive
Targets: Enemies, Unit
Description: Every Nth attack you will automatically summon a sword and impale it onto the target you are attacking. The summoned swords damage is based on the level of Flourish.
Attacks per Sword Summoned: 6/5/4/3
Notes: If the hero has no levels in Flourish, this passive will NOT do anything.


Name: Maximum
Type: Active, AoE, Terrible Terrible Damage
Targets: No target, Enemies
Description: Summon Swords are randomly thrown one at a time in all directions around the caster. The summoned sword damage is based on the level of Flourish however the spawn rate interval is always at 0.1 second. Swords will impale upon contact with a enemy unit.
Number of Swords Summoned: 25/30/35
Mana Cost: 200/250/300
Notes: If the hero has no levels in Flourish, this spell does nothing.

Unleash Modifications: Unleash now deals damage to all units around it rather than in a cone shape and has a bonus 25% reflected damage. (E.g. 5 enemies deal 50 damage each in one instance = 250 damage, this damage is reflected with Royale Guard and than followed by Unleash Level 4 which deals back 250*1.5 = 375 damage PLUS a bonus damage of 25% of 375 = 93.75 which totals to 375 + 93.75 = 468.75 damage in total. EXCLUDING Royale Guard damage)

[Juno**]

Here's a spellpack my little bro suggested, I'll just share it coz I think it's a pretty cool idea for a seven year old to think of..
it's for some kind of alien spider or something

Name: Infest (Stacking spell)(Unit Target)(Has small mana cost)
Targets: Enemy, Organic
Description: Infests an enemy unit with a deadly parasite that eats it slowly from inside then out, each parasite in an enemy will deal 7 DPS to the infected unit.
Cooldown: 5 seconds
Each Stack Lasts: 20 seconds (DUR does not stack)
Max Stack: 4/8/10/12

Name: Hatch (Unit Target)
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.

Name: Grow! (Passive Spell)
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.
Extra Info: The reduced/increased speed could be movement or attack rate..depends on you
Extra Info: Yes, the Infestor would be better off at high level but would need alot of attack speed bonuses.
Extra Info: The Grow will apply to present and future parasites

Name: Rage (Passive)
Targets: Self
Description: Every time a hatchling dies, the Infestor's rage grows adding bonus movespeed, attack rate and damage.
Rage: Each rage stack lasts a few seconds (to not make it too imba)
