It's time for the first HD Modeling Contest of 2024. Join the theme discussion for Hive's HD Modeling Contest #6! Click here to post your idea!
I need some spell ideas for my next map project, good ones surelly will get some +rep.
open your frekin minds, don't matter if the idea is too complex or hard to make it possible, I just need some inspiration. Think of this as a brainstorm.
i will pay extra attention for:
original projectiles spells with no speciffic target
defensive spells that protects the caster only (no score bonus)
movement spells (blink or burrowstrike-like)
not over-the-top ultimates (dude the hive is FULL of them)
ANY idea is welcome =)
PLZ no score bonuses (i don't need increasin hp or attackspeed or armor), only if the idea is really great.
you could design a spell that summoned a storm cloud over an area and did a thunderstorm, you know lightning rain extra it would be pretty easy but it would look really cool
if i tell ya the map that would just close your mind xD (think of it as an Archers map with ten times the features. it's not that, but if you NEED this kind of guideline i give you this.)

one of my favourite spells is a thunderstorm ultimate spell created without triggers. (yes i know it's nothing special but I find it very cool). I used Locust swarm with 2 units flying at 10000 height and attacking with big lightnings (locust unit has 4 times the 'chaos' ability to create the lightning). the locust may have very low attack range so the lightning looks vertical.
It knocks all units within a certain area away from the center of the targeted area (spell is based on blizzard or rain of fire), and can deal damage to them aswell.
STEALTH
Turns the hero invisible after a few seconds. Breaks if the hero attacks, casts a spell or uses an item.
Based off the in game ability "Permanent Invisbility".
Just set the transition time to something different and add a trigger for each level that grants the hero a dummy spell for the icon (otherwise it won't get an icon)
Entrapment
Immobilizes and removes all buffs from a target enemy unit.
Based off purge, simply set the duration to something like 2 seconds per level, works nice in game and is very simple to create
i have created a thread dedicated to the collection of spell ideals click here to view it ...

Well, maybe that's enough for today, i will think again ....
since I use a custom attack system in ma map i can't detect attack and counter it, but i can detect damage, nullyfy and make a countering eletricity shield or something
of course they can, actually, this way they can be a "melee projectile" aswell, like the projectile is shot but it is invisible and the range is very small simulating a directed melee attack. my map detect Z height of the missile, soh you can add body part specification aswell, try to include those things in your spells! =)
try to avoid spells that are used directly in a target, give preference to spells that are set to a location and MIGHT hit a targett in its way to the target location or around target location, whatever. also, you might make use of exotic tragetories and arcs, parabolas, colors, etc. =)

meteor shower: calls in for meteors to bomard the map, however the meteors contain alien(s) which have VERY strong attack but little health, the aliens are hostile to everyone drains mana until canceled/ runs out of mana
Creates 5 dummy footmens around the hero (Close to the hero). The footmens have the Shield animation activated, and as fast when an enemy unit comes close to the hero, the neares footman is playing the attack shield animation and the enemy unit is knocked back X distance and taking damage equal to the hero's strength/Intelligence/Agility (Depended on which Primary Attribute the hero have).
Hehe i love mine but i'm to LAZY to create it xD Check my last spell in the spell section called "Charpen Shuriken [Special Edition!]"
EDIT: Here i have a new one also
"Model = Nerubian Weaver or Nerubian Assassin in dota". The Nerubian burrows itself under the ground and creates tunnels, he will randomly throw a spike to the overground0 (or what to call it)every 0.5 second in an 800 AOE. If the spike hits an enemy, it will take damage depended on how much strengt it have (0.8 + (0.2 x Level of ability) x current str). The enemy will be stunned for 0.6 + (0.2 x Level of ability).
EDIT 2 : If you want i can be like an extra spell make for ya I have not much work. Check the spell i mentioned to see my knowledge in triggering =)
hoho my turn (i have decided to stop updating the front page post)

The hero throws the enemy hero a suckerpunch throwing him off balance causing him to have neg x% armor and has a chances to lost x% movement speed also will cause whoever who control the enemy hero to be sad :0
instead of giving negative armor the hero might be slightlly stunned or silenced. a "death" animation will be played to give the impression it was a hell of a punch. Might also use knochback
my map use a Custom Missile system made in vJass, adapted to be a custom attack system, so armor is not really important for damage since units do not attack normally.

it does but in a unusual way, every armor point reduce damage by 1. Also, armor is specifically for actual Armors. Armor is damage resistence in ma map. If your hero is wihtout any armor or spell defense it's armor will always be 0. also units only miss attacks if the target is not "there", so you can evade by just using your mouse and steping away from the attacker (of course, the attacker might be faster than you xD)

Lightning Strike(A)(IC)
the hero calls down thunder to charged his sword before slashing down on an targeted area and reducing movement speed as well as stunning them the effects last xseconds
I'd love to have some support making ma map but i need vjass users because i use several systems made in vJass. i need someone that know how to explore this systems as much as I =}
for example, with the custom missile system i made 5 spells:
Liquid Fire:
A liquid flame projectile that is casted on a location. if it hits a unit in its tragetory or when it hits the target location, it splashes, dealing area damage relative to the casters "Fire Mastery" level and to its intelligence. While it splashes, 20 small flame drops comes out of it. such flame drops have arcs that simulate an actual splash, and each of them deal damage at contact with a unit.
Prismatic Missile
A projectile with random xy and z arc makes its way to target location. The projectile constantly changes its color (random color) 32 times per seconds while its flying. if it hits any unit in its way, it "explodes" dealing 100 of anyone of the following 6 types of damage and also make a special effect:
Fire: the unit takes 25 damage over 3 seconds.
Plant: the unit is entangled for 3 seconds.
Mind: the unit sleeps for 3 seconds.
Magic: the unit is hexed for 3 seconds.
Cold: the unit is slowed (to 20% of ms) for 3 seconds.
Lightning: the unit is paralysed (stunned) for 3 seconds.
Wind Blade
A sharp blue projectile is created and goes to target direction. As it travels, its damage and oppacity gets smaller, but it's area of contact increase the size. It's an "air blade" that get's bigger, more transparent and less damaging (simulation that the blade is dissipating) the more time is exists. it dissipates completelly after 1 seconds of existance, but it might last longer if the user "Wind Mastery" is increased.
Shoot Arrow
an arrow is shot to target direction. as it travels, it performs a small arc. if the arrow hits the head of a unit, it deals double it's normal damage. the arrow looses a bit of it's speed and energy as it travels, finally hitting the ground at 1500 range. (if it is casted to a smaller range, it will travel only that range and hitting the ground aswell)
Magic Projectile
A magic missile that keeps flying to target direction until it hits a target or it's time of life is ended (about 3 seconds.) It's size varies as it travels from 1x scale to 3xscale. When it hits target unit, it performs the effect previously choosen by the caster. The effects are immensilly varied, it might damage, it might heal, it might even kill the unit.
