The Dark Spirit
Cant think of a model/story... suggest!

Strength 18 + 1.7
Agility 19 + 1.3
Intelligence 23 + 2.7

Move speed 305
Attack range 600

Each of the Dark Spirit's attacks are filled with destructive powers. They deal extra damage and splash onto enemies within 250 range of the target. Bonus damage is pure. Orb Effect

Level 1 - 10 bonus damage, 20% splash
Level 2 - 15 dmg, 30% splash
Level 3 - 20 dmg, 40% splash
Level 4 - 25 dmg, 50% splash

Mana - 40/35/30/25
CD - 3/2/1/0

Every time an allied hero within 800 range deals 250 damage or takes 300, they get engulfed in flames. These flames deal instant magical damage in a small area around the allied hero.

Level 1 - 40 Damage in 150 AoE
Level 2 - 60 Damage in 175 AoE
Level 3 - 80 Damage in 200 AoE
Level 4 - 100 Damage in 225 AoE

The Dark Spirit has control of the darkness, even shadows. He can make the enemy's shadows a weapon against them. They take more damage if they stay away from other allied heroes. For every 100 range in between heroes, 5% extra damage is taken. Max 40% damage increase. Only Physical damage is amplified. E.g. I cast on 3 heroes, Lina, Morphling and Mirana. Mirana and Morph escape with their skills leaving Lina. This means she takes 40% extra damage because there is a large distance between her and any allies.
AoE target area spell like Pit of Malice. Lasts 5 sec.

Level 1 - 350 AoE
Level 2 - 450 AoE
Level 3 - 550 AoE
Level 4 - 650 AoE

Mana - 100/125/150/175
CD - 30/25/20/15

The Dark Spirit is able to channel his powers and control death itself. An area is covered by his magic and any allies inside it are protected from dying. If they get killed, they are brought back after 2.5 seconds. However, the dark spirit has to sacrifice 150 hp to cast this. Affects self.

Level 1 - Brought back with 200hp, 100 mana
Level 2 - 250hp, 150 mana
Level 3 - 300hp, 200 mana

CD - 160/140/120
Mana - 200/250/300
AoE - 300/350/400

1st Skill: Ouch! Dont you think 40/50/60/70% splash is too harsh?

2nd Skill: I like it, but does it count spell damage as well or just physical damage dealt? and if it does, can it proc multiple times on one damage instance? [ex: Finger of Death/Laguna Blade Sonic Wave]

3rd skill: One word - OUCH!

Ultimate: Does it count creep kills as well or only heroes that have killed other heroes? [I think it is codeable, Alchemist uses the same basis for his Goblin's Greed... right?]

PS: Mind checking out my HI? and how did you make that kind of layout?

2nd Skill: I like it, but does it count spell damage as well or just physical damage dealt? and if it does, can it proc multiple times on one damage instance? [ex: Finger of Death/Laguna Blade Sonic Wave] Phyisical damage only. It procs once only.

3rd skill: One word - OUCH!

Ultimate: Does it count creep kills as well or only heroes that have killed other heroes? [I think it is codeable, Alchemist uses the same basis for his Goblin's Greed... right?] I think heroes and creeps because it might otherwise be a bit imba. It deals large damage + ministun to ALL nearby heroes.

PS: Mind checking out my HI? and how did you make that kind of layout? Just quote my post then just use it as a template. I dont think i explained that well, do you get it?

Hope that answers

1) The bonus damage is totally splashed with the percentage of the damage?
Like: 15 Bonus DMG + 10% Hero damage.
Anyway, it's good.

2) It is good to support allied heroes, but does not make any sense in one-on-one battle, since it doesn't works on yourself. If works and I don't saw, it's okay.

3) Pretty good.

4) If it counts creep kills, not only hero kills, it's okay. But, are you sure that you want this ulti? I don't see synergies and strategies with other skills. I suggest changing the name of the skill, since it ressurrects nothing.

And about the stats: Normally, your hero would start with 304 HP and 351 MP. I see that you want your hero chase the enemy, since it has 305 MS and a good AS, but its low STR GROW and no disable/stun/slow, makes it such a vulnerable target. I suggest increasing the STR grow a little.

Too cool orb-effect! Imagine mjo-buriza huh ?

[Teare]

Can see synergy of hero as enemies will want to spread out, then Shadow would do it's thing. I think Shadow's AOE isn't specified clearly. What AOE do you mean? IMO it should be targeted instead much like Warlock's 'Fatal Bonds', and this bond, the further stretched, will augment the damage increase. And the distance of this will decrease as the level of the skill increases, meaning maybe, at level 1. 700 distance will be the full 40%, and then at level 2, 500, then 300, etc. So when they try to evade your splash and immolation, they take more damage from other sources. Though your skills will mean that this hero will hardly get kills since it makes it easier for others to KS the kill(in a sense). Nice immolation idea, btw.

This hero should be STR or AGI instead of INT. He isn't a nuker or anything like an INT hero, and will be in middle of large-scale battles, STR would suit him better. Making him AGI would be making him like Gyrocopter.

[Redleader134]

I think he is fine as INT, just because he has no nukes doesnt make him a STR or AGI
Also, it would mean players can get +int for mana AND some nice damage

This is perfect for a Shade exept for 1st skill

[Redleader134]

But shades have no attack animation
