Summons 8 melted Rocks which start to rotate around the caster, they will start to rotate faster and will deal damage and gives a 25% chance to knock back a enemy unit. The damage caused is increased while the rocks get faster (100 damage is max), same for knock back (10 range more knocked back per second, max is 300 range). The Knock Back and Damage can only appear every 3 seconds. Lasts 30/45/60 seconds.

Redscores' ability is interesting and awesome, as well as fairly smooth (except I think the damage should be extremely fast but low) and the code is good.

But HINDYhat gets my vote because his ability is just so unbelievably fun to use!! Not only that but it's very very smooth, I looked to code over and even though I'm not the best coder it looks fine, and efficient to me. Also, I noticed how you made a FRAMERATE variable. Now if that doesn't show efficiency I don't know what the fuck efficiency is.

It's amazing how much code it takes for one somewhat simple-looking ability.

I'm glad I actually got mine to work without any use of SquareRoot or Sin/Cos! :D

Thanks!

I would never vote for my self, I am not such a newbie, well, thanks for the feedback void, i got good feedback for my spell from all sides, and heh, i started 2 or 3 weeks ago to code vjass. :)

Feedback already given. My vote goes to red.

Thanks gilles. Very much appreciated.

my vote goes to hindyhat cause the spell is so funny :p

Eh, splattering water is funny? then you should get a day to go swimming X).

This has turned out to be quite a challenge! Thanks to all voters!

BUMP: Keep voting!

Oh my gawd it's even! This is so epic!

10:10, well it seems that i won't lose so easy. :)

It actually is quite useful, as it's a mix between invulnerability, blink and just overall confusing your enemy. I think it would be great in an AoS-style map.

Eh immolation steel? It was a accelerating ring of meteors (melted rocks) around the unit which start to rotate faster and faster and deal more damage when faster and knocking enemies with a chance back.

Don't see any familiars with immolation.

Vote for redscores.

I just like the idea and the eye candy that comes with it. Also it actually does something to an enemy unit. The fulmination is also a very nice concept but lacks a finishing touch. By that I mean, the water particles seeking out a target and doing something to that target. For example the water particle entering a unit, doing damage from the inside, making the unit grow bigger due to the pressure, exit (shrinking unit again ofc.) and stunning the unit for x seconds, and then reform the hero. It would be a H2O variant of the Terminator.

Thanks drone ;D
