Well, another spell from my ninja fever :D This is a spell made upon a request by indomitable1319 with some changes.

ARCING SHURIKENS

Releases two magical shurikens that travel in an arc to the target location then back to the caster, damaging and maiming all enemies in its path. Area of Effect and projectile speed improves with level. Each shuriken can only damage a unit once.

Level 1 - 150 damage, 25% slow.
Level 2 - 200 damage, 40% slow.
Level 3 - 250 damage, 55% slow.
Level 4 - 300 damage, 70% slow.

Credit:
+ indomitable1319 for the original idea (i.e the request).
+ AlienAtSystem for his awesome formulae.
+ Dr Super Good for some help with the formulae.

Oh thanks for the compliment. About the spells I always need the help of awesome guys around here (my long credit list is evident enough) and thus it seems to be really challenging for me to teach him.

My only advise atm is hanging in chat a lot and talk to people there. They will help you improve your skills gradually.
