Name: Ice Link
Type: Channel, Buff
Targets: One Unit
Description: The hero fires a chain forward, attaching to the first unit it hits. Ice Links (a frost nova model) form in the distance between the target and the hero. The Ice Links can be attacked, and if they're destroyed the chain breaks, releasing the trapped unit. The hero is channeling during this duration and cannot move, attack, or cast spells. If the Ice Links last their full duration, they explode into a Frost Nova, dealing AoE cold damage.
Duration: 3 / 5 / 7 / 9
Mana Cost: 70 / 100 / 130 / 150
Ice Link Life: 80 / 120 / 160 / 200
Frost Nova Damage: 120 / 240 / 360 / 480

Meant to be a spell to disable a single enemy hero. It requires the prescense of an ally to be fully effective, and if an enemy hero is nearby, they can stop both the disable and the frost nova afterwards or kill the hero while he's channeling. Since the Frost Nova takes essentially 9 seconds to charge, its not very effective as a primary nuking ablitty.

Type: Active
Targets: All units or enemies except caster.
Description: Hero implants the magnet inside his body gaining great capabilities of motion control. Magnet has one value, either positive either negative either neutral.
At neutral mode hero has slightly increased speed and mana regeneration.
At positive mode hero has increased speed, pushes targets away from him, effect becomes greater when getting closer and closer to hero, gives small amount of mana to targets.
At negative mode hero has decreased speed, pushes targets towards him, effect becomes greater when getting closer to hero, takes small amount of mana from targets.

DISCLAIMER: I do not play DotA and therefore, I do not pertain to knowledge of spells in that particular game.


Crematory
Type: Active, Area of Effect
Targets: Ground, Enemy
Description: Unleashes a chaotic firestorm that surrounds the Hero, causing moderate damage every second to all enemy targets in the area. For each second an enemy target remains in the Crematory, additional damage is taken by the storm.
Base Damage: 40/55/70
Periodic Increase: 5/7/10
Crematory Radius: 500
Effect Duration: 6 seconds

*Notes: When an enemy unit leaves the Crematory's area of effect, the additional damage taken value will not carry over: it will reset back to the base damage as if the unit had never taken a step in the Crematory before.*


Volatile Absorption
Type: Passive, Enhancement
Targets: Self
Description: When struck by a direct damage or damaging area of effect spell, a certain percentage of damage taken is converted into an unstable energy reserve that increases the damage of the Hero's next direct damage spell equal to the amount stored.
Spell Damage Converted: 20%/25%/30%
Max Damage Contained: 300

*Notes: This ability will not reduce damage taken by spells, and energy stored will last indefinitely until the Hero casts a direct damage spell. If the Hero is hit by a Fireball causing 300 damage, and 20% is converted, s/he will still take 300 damage but have an energy reserve of 60. So if the Hero was to cast a direct damage spell immediately after, its damage would be increased by 60.*


Unstable Repulsion
Type: Passive, Enhancement
Targets: Enemy
Description: When struck by a direct damage or damaging area of effect spell, a certain percentage of damage taken is redirected back at the caster. If hit by a direct damage spell, mana equal to the amount redirected is also destroyed, but causes no additional damage.
Spell Damage Redirected: 15%/30%/45%

*Notes: This does not destroy the Hero's mana reserves, only the caster's mana reserves. As stated, the mana burn effect triggers only upon taking damage from a direct damage spell.*

Absolute Martyrdom
Type: Active, Buff
Targets: Self, Allied Hero
Description: Blesses an allied Hero at the cost of the casting Hero's own life. A Hero empowered by Absolute Martyrdom takes reduced damage from physical attacks, recieves additional healing from healing spells but is unable to move. If the target of Absolute Martyrdom survives until the effect expires, the casting Hero is ressurected at full life but no mana.
Physical Damage Reduced: 20%/26%/33%
Additional Healing Recieved: 15%/20%/25%
Effect Duration: 12 seconds

*Notes: The casting Hero's corpse will remain (similar to a Reincarnation effect) as long as the target Hero is under Absolute Martyrdom, but will dissipate as usual if the target Hero is killed prior to the expiration of the effect. However, this ability is probably best suited as an 'Ultimate' spell instead.*


Light's Guidance
Type: Passive, Enhancement
Targets: Self, Ally
Description: Grants a chance that each time the Hero casts a healing spell, a surge of light will revitalize the nearest friendly target with the lowest remaining health. Units healed in this fashion temporarily gain an increase in armor and block the next offensive spell cast against them.
Chance Upon Heal: 20%
Heal Amount: 120/180/240
Heal Selection Radius: 1000
Armor Increase: 3/4/5
Effect Duration: 8 seconds

*Notes: If no nearby unit is damaged upon casting a healing spell when Light's Guidance triggers, the casting Hero is placed in first priority instead. This prevents Light's Guidance from randomly selecting an undamaged target to buff when it could best benefit the casting Hero instead.*


<=> Some additional spells I'm throwing in to avoid double-posting. <=>


Raging Sandstorm
Type: Passive, Aura
Targets: Self, Enemy
Description: A mobile and aggressive sandstorm surrounds the Hero, increasing armor and movement speed. Enemy units caught in the sandstorm take damage every few seconds, have reduced sight range and have an increased chance to miss on all attacks.
Self Armor Increase: 2/3.5/5
Self Movement Increase: 5%/10%/15%
Sandstorm Damage: 25/30/35
Damage Interval: 2 seconds
Sight Reduction: 400
Miss Chance Increase: 10%
Sandstorm Radius: 1000

*Notes: Only the Hero receives a movement and armor bonus.*


Unholy Divination
Type: Active, Buff
Targets: Self, Allied Hero
Description: Bestows an unholy blessing upon an allied Hero, increasing its maximum health, mana, damage, attributes and armor based on the caster's own stats. However, the caster suffers a reducion in all fields for the duration. If the casting hero dies before Unholy Divination expires, the target of the spell dies as well.
Allied Hero Statistic Increase: 50%/66%/75%
Caster Statistic Decrease: 50%/33%/25%
Effect Duration: 10 seconds


Manasurge
Type: Active, Direct
Targets: Enemy
Description: Storms the enemy target with a powerful energy force, causing damage and knocking it backwards. For a short duration, each time the damaged target casts a spell, a single Manasurge occurs. Starsurge cuts the remaining mana reserves of all nearby enemy units by a fraction, destroying it and causing damage equal to half of the mana destroyed.
Direct Damage: 160/220/280
Knockback Range: 500
Manasurge Radius: 700
Mana Deduction: 15%/20%/25%
Effect Duration: 8 seconds


<=> And another set of spells. <=>


Vengeance Of The Wise
Type: Passive, Enhancement
Targets: Self
Description: When struck by a direct damage spell, the Hero has a chance to temporarily negate all damage and effects of the incoming spell, receiving full control of it. Controlled spells are released upon the Hero's next direct damage spell for a fraction of its potential damage. Failure to release a spell results in full damage and effects taken.
Chance To Control: 10%
Original Spell's Damage: 50%/66%/75%
Control Duration: 2 seconds

*Notes: A Hero controlling a spell for its short duration is not affected by it unless s/he fails to release the spell back at a designated target. Sorceror's Revenge will not activate while a spell is under control, preventing the ability from granting a chance for temporary and delayed spell protection while controlling a spell already.*


Strength Of Gaia
Type: Active, Buff
Targets: Self
Description: Empowers the Hero with the divine and adaptive powers of Gaia for a short duration. Movement speed is increased when moving, damage is increased when attacking, armor is increased when damaged by a normal attack and spell damage received is reduced when damaged by a spell. Only one adaptation can take effect at any one time. Transitions can only occur once every second.
Movement Increase: 30%
Damage Increase: 40%
Armor Increase: 10
Spell Damage Reduction: 50%
Effect Duration: 6/8/10 seconds

*Notes: When a transition occurs as a result of a new event, that particular element is affected by Strength Of Gaia before taking its effect on the Hero. For example, an attack that triggers the armor mechanic of Strength Of Gaia is subject to the additional 10 armor granted, or a spell that triggers the spell damage mechanic is subject to the 50% spell damage reduction.*


<=> Last spell I'm adding to this post. Promise. <=>


Forced Equilibrium
Type: Active, Direct
Targets: Varies (based on ability level)
Description: Blasts the target with balancing energy, equalizing the deviations of health and mana percentiles. Has no effect on targets whose health and mana percentages are already within 5% of each other, and on targets who have no mana.
Targets Available: Self/Ally/Enemy

*Notes: When Forced Equilibrium reaches higher levels, the target choice expands to include allies and enemies, which allows this spell to be used as a means of both offense and defense. For example, a unit with 100% life and 0% mana will be brought to 50% life and mana when hit by Forced Equilibrium, or a unit with 75% life and 100% mana will be brought to 87.5% life and mana.*
