Try making a gravity ball spell or a black hole.. It will shoot a ball // make a hole and drag people close to it and when they are close to it they will take damage over time

Look at dota and Warlock for some good ideas. Some good ones are from warlock: one where you fire an initial missile and it shoots other missiles at nearby enemies, a large moving "black hole" that drags nearby enemies with it. From dota there is that freeze globe thing that stops all heroes that enter it but the caster, fissure makes a wall path that blocks units and stuns nearby units, wall of illusion that creates an illusion of any hero that goes thru it for the caster. Just look at games like these and you can get many great ideas

You could try this:

Warp hole

Sends a vorpal ball to a target area dealing damage and creating something like goo on the floor slowing your movement speed and dealing damage per second the longer the opponent stays within the area of effect the more armor will be reduced.
if the opponent does not die (the targeted opponent) the casters mana will be reduced by 40% his current mana and can't regenerate them for a set amount of time.

Hrmm.....lets see, what spells can I thing of? :mwahaha:!

-Polymorph ward:
loads of fun, pretty much a ward, that polymorphs any target when it enters an area around it.

-Steal mana: whenever the target casts a spell, it drains mana equal to the spell cost (or as much as it can) and gives it to you, lasts one spell. (use the wait until *condition* GUI if you're not good with JASS)

-Exploding Lightning Shurikans: Hrmm...I bet you're questioning my sanity about now, but what IS a game without some crazy fun spells?! This spell should shoot out 3 shurkians in a fan-shaped spread, which shoot out lightning to anyone they pass (for small amounts of damage) then they explode when they reach a certain distance doing the thunder clap slowing effect and dealing moderate damage!

-Pong Board : Warning, hard to do, I could not do it, this is just an idea. Creates a small force wall in front of you, any unit that touches it is pushed away using a knockback system. It would be reasonably easy to do I guess if you made it check every 0.1seconds if it needs to kockback.

That should do it, dont want to use up too much space :grin:. Maybe I could make up some more given a longer attention span.

Lava Wave - Calls a wave of lava to rush over the unit/hero.
"If you understand what the fuck im saying"

Posion Fart - damaging each unit around the hero and makes them fear in 5 seconds...
If you dont have any ideas of the Cooldown, then try fart and use a stopwatch for each time your able to... lol =p

Mind Break - Makes 150 x (level of target) damage to enemy unit, but daze the mage for 4 seconds. (Cooldown 2 min).

Last Chance - When the mage hits 15% of it's maximum health it will be able to use this ability, it dazes every unit around it for 10 seconds, and makes the mage fear for 3 seconds.

Thirsty - creates water barrel at the front of the mage, but decreases the health of the mage by 75% of current health of the mage. (may not use in combat) (Cooldown 1 minute)
