My Technomage!

I have worked hard to make these spells, and i optimized them so they use only several array variables.
Hope you like them.
-Nanodyne Vengeance
-Gyro Coil
-Maledict Cog
-Refracture Laser

So i finished mine also , my hero is the engineer... i think the name doesn't fit 100% he's more a master about electrecity^^
Spells:
Electrical Charging
Magnetic Impulse
Electric Impulse
Discharge

I have seen some errors in my first posted spell pack so i have decided to replace it with a new one. It has the absolutely same abilities except the modified gyro coil which now snaps at 800+ range and added some nicer effects to it too.
I have tested all my spells on the following configuration:
Pentium IV Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz
Memory 512 Mb
Graphic Card Nvidia FX440!

And the spells were without any slow until i checked Particle Effects - High, Spell detail - high.
Basicaly if you can play Dota you can use this spells, cause when i play Dota if i don't put spell detail - minimum and particle effect - low it lags.
So here it is:

I haven't got the time to test your spell pack on that config, but for all you to know that is my second computer i use for spell testing, i have my better computer reserved for games

re

so i reworked the special effects and Electric Impulse:
Electrical Charging - now creates two electrical orbs in the hands

Electric Impulse - now creates on 4 points arround the engineer explosions and deals damage in a range of 125 of each point

Discharge - now creates a discharge effect at the engineer and the missle grows with distance

 

[Hawkwing]

2 days are remaining. I suggest you both do some testing before then.

 

[xD.Schurke]

so reworked 2 abilitys a bit

First: increased the chance to trigger Electric Impulse

Second: Added a min range for discharge to prevent extreme damage in a short time

 

[Hawkwing]

As soon as I get back from dinner I'll test for bugs and then bring up the poll. I've looked at the maps already, though, and none of them break any rules.

Edit: No bugs found, just mistakes in the tooltips.
