Deception meaning from my original post idea: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/2721386-post23.html
Example: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/2722143-post29.html
There are some deception spell which you cannot control of the outcome (refer to the example), and then, there's some deception spell that you (as the player that is affected with the deception decision) can affect the outcome - it depends on your creativity to deliver the "Deception" theme to its fullest, this should net you the most score, I think.
The creativity and the complexity of your Deception Spell.
Player can affect the outcome deception spell example:
Places a marker on an enemy Hero. If the marker duration has expired and the Caster is within 600 range of the Target, instantly move the Caster to Target's location dealing damage and bleeds the Target for 5 seconds. Else, does nothing.
This spell shows that if you are the Target, you can either run to safety (going back to your base, or believe that the Target is just playing mindgames on you and has moved far away from your location), it's your call to either decide to hunt the Caster down OR you can ignore the trick OR you can go back to base for safety in which he cannot reach you. The caster could be having an invisible skill set which allows you to move in silently closer to the Target.
Also, when you create a Deception Spell, you should be able to explain it back in a more understandable way and always include this question in your mind: Does this spell causes the opposing player to think carefully what to do ?

^is this for me? First, a revision of concept. The spell now works as a ground target and units within the cast area are slowed. The outer ring of the area will deal damage and the center of the area is a safe zone. The deception here is that the enemy will eventually think that hes in danger thus running away. He will then be caught by the damage of the outer ring. Next, assuming that enemies already know what is happening and decided to stay on the center. The enemies now are now an easy target of other spell as tank-commander mentioned above. Additionally, it can serve as an escape window for the caster allowing it to flee. Basically it offers two choice to the enemies, run or stay. Thus the outcome of the spell depends on the enemy's reaction. As u mention it is a deceptive spell, it tricks enemies into doing the wrong choice, making it a valid entry for the theme.

That post is for all who are still vaguely understand "Deception" Theme and I'm trying to convey it as simple as it can be - by providing examples.
Also, you should not be afraid to enter, we're just giving suggestions that your idea does not fit the theme quite yet, and keep revising it will make it better, trust me, so just go for it, there are literally no obstacles for you to keep trying and revising your ideas.
It's just that *IF*, let's say, you keep on insisting to stick to your idea (when others have mentioned that the idea is not quite fitting for the theme), you will still get scores on the creativeness and complexity of your spells, only the missing score (large) is you're not on the theme, hence will lose a lot of scores.
Go for it !
Note: This message applies to your original spell idea.
I also forgot to mention that Deception has further example (from my point of view):
1. Forever Deception
2. Temporary Deception
Forever Deception
No matter how many times you use this spell, opponents will still be tricked (Mirror Image).
Temporary Deception
Once the Player has already learned the nature of the Deception Spell, he'll always know how to play around with it.
I think the best scores go to Forever Deception.

WIP: Mirrorique Trance
So, here is an early WIP:
The tooltip was created using the new WIP tool 'Tooltip Generator' from the Warcraft Editing Tools section
Manually translating them.
I created the invisibility refresh for now and some of the configuration.
Now comes the difficult part, the deception of abilities casted while being under Trance (= Defend).
I did not use Mana Shield on purpose, though it is sad the unit has not tooltip telling it is under Trance now,
since Defend seems not to support a tooltip.

Guess that's because contest is a rather short one - create single spell, test it and submit in the thread. Currently it lasts for period of a month, so it's not really a "quick" contest anymore. It had duration of 7 days previously, if I'm not mistaken.

Yes it does. "Zephyr" is another word for 'wind', which has connotations of speed and alacrity; so for a "quick" spell contest, that's a fine name.
To be fair, I kinda think it should be changed anyway.

Hu... so much Off-Topic.
Anyway, my deception stuff stands ready:
Previous early WIP
To the deception, if a caster goes into Trance ( = casts Defend), he will become invisible and a dummy will overtake its previous order.
The casters' abilities, based on Maiev ( without Shadow Strike), will change to Trance abilities, doing no harm, but having all a deception effect.
Blink -> Blinking while being in Trance will create a dummy unit at the casting point casting Trance Knives
Knives -> Reversed action of the Blink ( so an enemy knowing the spell is still confused). Not sure about this execution, since I don't know how I would simulate a good Blink, at the moment it will be in a random direction ( I think about removing that it is based on Knives, but make it a target point ability and blink a dummy there)
Revenge -> Creates a dummy that searches for an enemy hero around him, rushing towards the enemy hero, causing him to either check whether it is a dummy ( I will try to make it as unclear as possible) or to cast abilities against the dummy, having the risk it is a dummy. Difficult here will be to simulate a user-controlled behaviour, to not simply create it but actually make it behave like human-controlled.

Hm, indeed, but basically one could say only the Trance is the spell and the spell changing is an effect of it.
If it is a wrong approach, then a moderator will tell me, I suppose.

Sort of agree, especially since you're adding custom effects to them. If instead, you made Fan of Knives / Blink / Avatar of Vengeance purely "illusion" based (i.e. no damage/effect), you could get away with it.

Ardenian
You know, thank you, but that's just a few lines of code and some dummy abilities, whereas I add a deception effect, since your enemy does not know whether an ability is an illusion, doing no harm, or whether you ended Trance and it is harming your enemy's unit.

Complexity isn't always better (ahem to a few of the entries here
), your entry will be less user friendly since it's an entire skill set (which is one of the criteria), but it will still be interesting to see your final product, good luck

Entry Post - Shape Shift
[TD]
[/TD]
| Shape Shift |
Tool TipShape Shift
After a short delay, the caster will morph into the targeted enemy unit or destructible, retaining the original target's HP, Mana & ownership with an added inventory. Deactivation maims for 5 seconds and damages nearby enemies within a 300 AoE. While Shape Shifting, the caster has the option to BackStab, which returns ownership to the caster.
Level 1 - 100 mana, 1 inventory slot, 50% maim, deals 250 damage, lasts 30 seconds.
Level 2 - 150 mana, 3 inventory slots, 60% maim, deals 450 damage, lasts 40 seconds.
Level 3 - 200 mana, 6 inventory slots, 70% maim, deals 650 damage, lasts 50 seconds.
Unable to morph into other Heroes or Invulnerable Structures.
Triggers
Player - Disable SS_Config_ABIL_DisableEXPnGOLD for Player 1 (Red)
Destructible - Pick every destructible within SS_AoE_Scan_NormalSize of SS_TempPoint[1] and do (Actions)
Unit Group - Add SS_Caster[SS_Index] to SS_AnimationGroup
Animation - Change (Last created unit)'s size to (SS_Config_SFX_Transf_Size%, SS_Config_SFX_Transf_Size%, SS_Config_SFX_Transf_Size%) of its original size
Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
Game - Display to (All players) for 0.01 seconds the text: ANIMATION LOOP OFF
Hero - Drop the item from slot SS_ItemLoop of SS_Caster[SS_Loop]
Selection - Select SS_Command_Unit[SS_Loop] for (Owner of SS_Caster[SS_Loop])
Item - Hide (Item carried by SS_BackPack[SS_Loop] in slot SS_ItemLoop)
Info, Pros & ConsInfo
-77 variables, 36 configurable.
-8 Abilities including the main spell.
-1 Buff
-3 Dummy units.
-Requires Vexorian's dummy.mdx
-3 Imported models.
-100% GUI
Pros
-Plenty of trigger comments.
-Noob friendly.
-Easy to modify
-Completely hides the caster from detection.
-Simple special effects.
-Simple and effective.
-Very versatile for any situation.
-Disables other spells being cast to prevent Metamorphosis issues.
-Retains colour tint and unit size modifications.
-Transitions flying height when morphing
-Includes helpful links
-Tries to use minimal imported models/icons.
-Extremely fun!
Cons
-Must remove/modify shadow for complete deception.
-ShapeShifting into a Unit that has a transform ability (like bear form) may cause issues. But is highly unlikely
-Awkward controlling two ShapeShifters at the same time.
Uses, Tips & Tricks+You can enter enemy territory, undetected.
+Blend into the enemies' army and turn the tide of battle.
+Steal Items.
+Make your opponent attack his own men or the innocent, in a desperate search for you.
+Be a Trojan Horse and let the enemy lead you to his base.
+Hide in plain sight to ambush enemies.
+Be the perfect scout.
+Clone any unit to make use of the beneficial Abilities, Spells and Auras.
+Become something stronger or faster than you to use to your advantage.
+Transform into a flying unit and escape to the skies.
+Transform into a Ship or a Naga unit and travel the waters.
+Lead your enemy into a hoard of Neutral Hostiles, then join the Neutral Hostiles.
+Turn into an enemy worker and build structures never available to you before.
This spell can be used in AoS maps, Competitive RPGs and maybe even Hero Arenas.
This spell can be used multiple times by one player, but it's recommended to have one ShapeShift per player, because controlling two ShapeShifters can be awkward.

Thats a big presentation
I just want to nitpick one thing, dont put pros and info to the same bar, separate it if possible(I dont think pros and cons are even needed, but since you posted them), because things like "-100% GUI." is not really a pro, its not really a con either, its just informal(same goes for number of models, number of variables etc).

Empirean's WIP
So I decided to start making some progress after all the time is running low.
The Concept: Throws a projectile to the target area causing the units around the area to get slowed for a duration. After a short delay, units around the target area be gets damaged.
The Plan: Make crows fly in a circular pattern while the damage is not yet delivered.
The Name of the Spell: Crow's Deathfall
The name greatly inspired by the "Crow's/Crooking Deadfall" -- a Raven's ability in Dragon Nest (Yey originality). Well, only the name and the crows but the effect of my submission is very different from dragon nest.

There is this:
If it was for me, Im fine with it personally
LUA is in vJass yes, but you still feed it into ObjectMerger, which is 3rd party software afterall. However, it is part of JNGP, so this is really questionable

WIP Post: Empirean Shadow of Dread
Spell Name: Shadow of Dread
Concept: Marks the safe area and after a short delay, units outside the safe area be gets damage.
A magical dagger is thrown at the target area to attract crows which will fly in circles slowing the attack and movement speed of nearby enemies. After a short delay, explosion occurs outside the target area dealing damage and holding enemy units in place but allows them to cast their abilities.
Uses:
-Use it to trick enemies into running outside the area pushing them into their despair.
-Use it to trick enemies into going inside the area allowing you to escape or cast other abilities.
-Use it to make your enemies move into unwanted position.
-Flashy spell
-Requires some skill to master
Requirements:
dummy.mdx by Vexorian
Credits:
Vexorian for dummy.mdx
Note: just in case i forgot to inclue credits and importing tutorials i will update this post. Otherwise this is my last post.
Edit: I've added importing instructions as well as editted object editor data and adjusted some of the lines.

Elemental Bodies
Summons Elemental Bodies. Brewmaster's soul is initially within one of the Elemental Body allowing that Body to cast spells. Brewmaster can transfer his soul from one Body to another. When a Body with Brewmaster's soul dies, all of the Elemental Bodies will die. When a Body without Brewmaster's soul takes damage, it will keep track of the damage source and total damage taken from that source. When a soul-less Body dies, it will return all damage it tracked, extra damage factor is returned to the killer.
Level 1 - Two Elemental Bodies, Damage Factor = 0.5, Killer Damage Factor = 1.0
Level 2 - Three Elemental Bodies, Damage Factor = 0.75, Killer Damage Factor = 1.5
Level 3 - Four Elemental Bodies, Damage Factor = 1.0, Killer Damage Factor = 2.0

JASS:library ElementalBodies /* ---------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Elemental Bodies by Flux --------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- Description: Summons Elemental Bodies. Brewmaster's soul is initially within one of the Elemental Body allowing that Body to cast spells. Brewmaster can transfer his soul from one Body to another. When a Body with Brewmaster's soul dies, all of the Elemental Bodies will die. When a Body without Brewmaster's soul takes damage, it will keep track of the damage source and total damage taken from that source and when that Body dies, it will return all damage it tracked, extra damage factor is returned to the killer. Deceive your enemies thinking a certain Elemental Body has Panda's soul when it really isn't and watch him takes back his own damage. With this ability, enemies will hesitate in attacking you because they know it may backfire to them. Coding Notes: - Written in vJass making it requires Jass New Gen Pack. - Comes with some API: (that are compiled no matter what configuration is set) * function SetMaxProperty takes unit u, real newMaxProperty, unitstate maxState returns nothing Sets Max Life or Max Mana of unit u to newMaxProperty, will only work if newMaxProperty > current Max State that is why Elemental Bodies initially have 1 HP * function ExchangeItems takes unit u1, unit u2 returns nothing Exchange the Items of u1 and u2 * function CopyItemCharges takes unit ref, unit new returns nothing Change number of charges in unit new's inventory based on unit ref's inventory * function ElementalBodyHasSoul takes unit u returns integer Returns 0 if unit is not even an elemental body Returns 1 if unit is an elemental body but does not have caster's soul Returns 2 if unit is an elemental body and has caster's soul Useful if AI triggering - Comes with its own Preload. Known Issues: - Color Tint is removed on Soul-less Bodies when Frost Slowed. - Elemental Bodies must not be targetable by any Doom based ability except 'Real Silence' because if it does, the unit with the Doom ability can easily find out which Body has Panda's Soul because the "This unit has already been stricken with Doom." error will appear when trying to Doom Soul-less bodies. In this map Demo, Elemental Bodies are given Resistant Skin to make them immune to Doom. - Sometimes changes Buff Status order with Command Aura Buff allowing enemy's to identify where the soul is by looking at the order of the Buff Status. */uses /* ---------------------- Required systems ---------------------- */Table /* by Bribe

Spellcode Information
- 1345 lines of vJAss code (comments included).
- Requires Table and Alloc.
- Comes with some few useful APIs.
- Used 'static ifs' making the spell compiles based on what is configured avoiding unnecessary code compilation.
- Creates a permanent dummy caster in the map that handles all dummy casting. Prevents create-remove dummy casters in each cast.
Spell Object Information
- Comes with 9 Abilities ('Elemental Bodies' ability included).
- Comes with 2 Buffs.
- Each Elemental Body's Spells are not part of the entry, they are configurable.
Spell Strategy (based on Map Demo configuration)
This spell mostly fit in AoS, Hero Arena and Hero Defense maps.
- Trick your opponents into thinking a certain Elemental Body has Panda's soul even though it really isn't by:
* Casting Spell then Soul Transfering without enemies knowing. Enemies will think Panda's Soul is still within the Body that casted the Spell.
* Fake casting Soul Transfer by making the Elemental Body face another Body, opponents will think you cast Soul Transfer when you actually didn't.
- Don't be afraid to take the front line during clash because they will most likely ignore you because of the Return Damage.
- At Level 3, you can easily escape by transfering soul to Wind Elemental and then using Wind Walk.
- It is best to cast this on full HP so that Elemental Bodies will also have full HP.
Ability Notes (some can be configured)
- Elemental Bodies summoned will have a max Life, max Mana, current Life and current Mana equal to Panda's.
- When an Elemental Body cast a spell, all other Bodies will have its mana updated. But when a certain Body has its mana increased, all other Bodies will be unaffected.
- Soul-less bodies will have their inventory changed when a Body with Panda's Soul uses an item.
- Soul Transfer Cooldown is shared, meaning when a Body cast Soul Transfer, the new Body will have its Soul Transfer on Cooldown.
- The Special Effects when a Soul-less body is damaged is only visible to that Body's allies.
- Soul-less Body will have a different vertex coloring that is only visible to that Body's allies.
- All item cooldowns will also be transferred upon casting Soul Transfer.
- Elemental Bodies' missile size is proportional to its damage.
- Elemental Bodies cannot reincarnate.
- Soul-less Bodies cannot return HP removal damage such as Negative Life Regeneration but it will still return damage to other types of damages and it will still trigger if it dies via HP removal.
- Missiles have 400/400 (day/night) sight radius.
- Does not return damage to Structures.
- Panda's Soul's initial Elemental Body is random.

Yes, because your entry will only be judged when contest time/poll is over.
It does not matter if you post your entry after 10 days, or at the very end.
I personaly would not post it too early, because you mostly will anyway
still work on it and change some minor things before contest ends.
Btw, you guys put really much effort into the presentation! It looks good.
@Judges, first post is modified for easier work. I will update it later on again.

All right
Count me in! I've only got one week so I think I'm up for the task
Tomorrow I'll post my first WIP
By the way, is it possible for you to extend the deadline for a few days or a week? Looks like I'm late again for the contest!
