I guess you didnt understand what I said about configurables after al TC...
Shall I give you another 432 more configurables in your spell?

I think I will join with my wild card.
It is a bit of a minigame which is also a nice theme for such a competition.

Description:
House of Mirrors
<name> challanges the target enemy hero into a duel of deception.
Both heroes are invulnerable, silenced and blind for the entire duration of House of Mirrors.
<name> will create a clone of himself and surround the enemy hero.
Within 3 seconds, he can choose his location and the clone will appear on the other side of the hero.
The enemy hero has 4 seconds to attack one unit.
If he attacks the clone, <name> stacks up <amount> damage.
If he attacks <name>, another clone will spawn.
After 6 rounds, the enemy hero will take spell damage equal to the stacked amount.

Dont mind about the <name> and <amount> :D

To explain a bit how it goes:
You will create a clone and make the enemy hero attack either one of them.
When he attacks a clone, he takes damage, but when he attacks the hero, another clone will spawn making the next round be harder.
Ofcourse this only works in PvP, but lets face it... deception vs AI?

(This spell is designed for AoS/RPG maps and not for RTS maps so consider the enemy hero to not have any other units at all.)

I will just post my spell concept here to tell other that I have already used that idea. I haven't really re-phrase much of the concept but here is the idea:

Panda will summon three Elemental Body (Storm, Earth and Fire) but Panda's Soul is initially within one of the three elemental body. Panda can transfer his spirit from one elemental body to another transferring his current mana (but not HP). Elemental Bodies without Panda's soul cannot cast spell.
When an elemental body without Panda's soul takes damage, it will store the source and the total amount of damage taken from that specific unit. When that elemental body dies (without Panda's soul), it will return all damage instance stored (configurable scaling). When an elemental body with Panda's soul dies, all elemental bodies will die and damage will not be returned.

So the deception here is, your enemies will be confused whether they should attack an elemental body or not because it may backfire to them. Trick your foes into thinking that a certain elemental body has Panda's soul when it really isn't and watch them kill themselves. Oh and elemental bodies without Panda's soul appears bluish to you and your ally like an illusion.

Some WIP, I haven't got the time to transform it into a library with required systems:

I would like to participate. Looking at other entries, mine would look weak. Please dont flame me for this. My ability concept is like this: The caster instantly turns into a hay-stack and moves backwards. Enemies near the caster will be forced to attack the hay stack and have their armors reduced for a duration. Old school ninja skill. I hope this is acceptable. Please someone tell me if its acceptable.

Hm, I think I participate with my idea I posted earlier, even if it is nothing great or unique.

So, my idea, the casting hero becomes invisible and 'all' orders being executed while he has the specific buff will create a dummy unit casting the ability instead, not having any actual effect.

I will see what exactly I am going to do, as there are some options I have to choose from and its extends. Posting a WIP soon.

Can someone please define the deception for this contest? Does it mean my spell has to do something else? Other than the main effect?

I think it was said 'The spell should lead your enemy to wrong decisions.' or what do you mean ? It basically just has to make your enemy a wrong turn.

There are two kinds of deception:
1, Make the other believe something that isn't true.
2, Make the other do something that he didn't want to do (not against his will but like that he finds out that he shouldn't have done that after he did it).

There is really no other kind of deception that you can think of.
You could try to classify your spell in either of these two types.
(Taunt for example does force your opponent to attack you but that is against his will so is not deception. So your spell is not really a Deception spell I guess.)

Judges can correct me if they find another kind of deception that I cannot think of after 3 weeks of trying to find the root concept of deception. :D

Why would anyone flame you for participating?

Yes, the more the merrier.
Looking forward to it.

@Weitlol, after reading your concept idea entry, I realize we almost have the same concept or not?

Yes the concept is kind of the same... however you make your opponent to always choose the wrong choice if you can switch between the clones fast enough.
It is kind of an unfair concept in that case.
The other difference is that mine is based on just the idea of who is the real one and who is the clone.
It is like a minigame instead of a more counterplay.

also
Do the rules say when the WIP must be shown?
You can upload a WIP and final work in the last minute of the contest afaik.

I'd advice anyone who does have some time to spare to play with WEditor and join the contest. Personaly, I had a lot of fun participating in those, even though most of the time I was finishing my entries very late (even when I thought I had lots of time left).

So, instead of asking yourself "should I join?", rephrase the question to "what I can surprice people with?".

Finally i have thought of something. The concept is, the hero marks the target with a curse or something. At a certain delay the curse will explode damaging the area where the marked unit is currently located. The center of the location of the unit is a safe spot. Standing still allows the target to take no damage. The deception is when the unit runs away, if he moves out of the safe spot he and allies near his location will be damaged. The spell has no name yet but ill try not name it as curse of something. Very simple spell idea yes. This shall be my entry.

Deception is tricking/misleading the opponent, making him/her fooled in some way.

I don't see how your spell does that. 'Mirror Image' is a perfect spell example.

I think it may still work - it would be reliant on how twitchy the opponent is i.e. the deception would be playing on the base assumption of how most other abilities function and conversely may be able to train your opponent into not dodging allowing you to hit them with other (more damaging) abilities. So I think the concept is valid though may want a delivery projectile and not tie it directly to a unit - rather places a curse on the ground and to avoid damage enemies move into it rather than away
