Anathematize
Every enemy hero that inflict physical damage to the bearer will be transformed into a Scarab Beetle. The Scarab form lasts for 4/4.5/5 seconds. The enemy heroes turned into a Scarab will be able to use the listed abilities below.

Physical Damage Spells does not cause transformation, only physical attacks
Does not affect enemy creeps
Affected units lose damage block and evasion, and have the base movement speed reduced to 200
Affected unit retains its normal health, mana, armor value, and armor type
Does not affect illusions
Lasts 6.5 seconds, costs 200 mana, has a 50 second cooldown, and an 700 AoE

It's only a first concept. Many things can be changed in the future updates.

Care to elaborate on this

The way it's worded(which is very poorly IMO) you're saying that every unit that attacks the person w/ this item will be turned into a beetle for 4/4.5/5 seconds. If this is what you intended, then your idea is very overpowered.

That being said though, concept: T-null atm, not sure if we need a hood combined w/ a mini stout shield.

Well, interesting and good design, but...

Like Travice said, it's not really clear. Are the units that attack you under your control then? Do they die or are they just transformed? What happens to heroes? Please explain.

If you don't mind, you'd might want to refine the flavor text too.

Its a nice tanking item. It protects you from magic and physical attacks.

I don't know exactly what to think about it at the moment. Its like a Guinsoo and Shiva combined. It initially provides equal magic resistance to Pipe for 1153 less gold and would become more for upgrading it. So to damage you, enemies must use Physical DPS in the form of attacks -- which would be mitigated by damage block and would not be an option for 6.5 seconds.

You must clarify that it is Physical Damage from attacks as it is what I think you intend it to be. As some spells out there deal physical damage (i.e. Quill Spray)

This kind of reminds me of Weaver's Urna Swarm in a way -- so less props for originality.

Don't really like the fact that you use planeswalkers cloak twice. It blocks your inventory a bit. Just add the cost to the recipe.

You dont have control on units transformed, it's like Hex.. Can die if use the Scarab Skills who deal amount of damage when casted. Units means any "living" thing there, but now only affect enemy heroes.

Fixed. Only affect physical attacks not physical spells.
