Summon Blood Cloud

  • Like
Reactions: Losam
This is another spell I made for a contest. It is not as impressive as other spells but it still may be usefull.

In-game description :

Drains the blood and 10% of allies' life points in the area in order to summon a blood cloud. The cloud slows the close ennemies' move speed and attack speed by 20% and deals damage over time. Also, when it dies, the cloud heals close allies by an amount equal to 20% of initially drained life.
level 1 - 15 damage + 10% of initially drained life points per second for 12 seconds.
level 2 - 20 damage + 15% of initially drained life points per second for 16 seconds.
level 3 - 25 damage + 20% of initially drained life points per second for 20 seconds.


The icon was made by CRAZZYRUSSIAN, the model was made by me.

I guess you can change the purpose of the aura but it has to apply on ennemies. It shouldn't affect a large area either (less than 300 AoE).

Here's the code :

scope BloodCloud
