the only + to it is if we do an assist.

i think you should change the heal to 20 for both mp and hp and give the AoE detection for spells.

Note the +Charge when you cast a spell targetting allies. This applies to basically most buff spells and heals.

And it can also be cast on allies now. (Though as a negative it's now harder to cast on yourself in a pinch)

I think increase restore to 20 and right icon is better for good talisman. If I can suggest u can make it toggleable when dont have charges for heal u or damage enemy. T-UP

Should be way better with the charges. If you wait to get 40 charges anyways you sure well deserve the healing for 1k of gold. easily if you ask me.

and should not only get the buff if assisting. Should be there if you assist or kill.

I like it. The only thing is, why would you want to carry more than one magic stick? The point of carrying recipe items is to benefit from them while you build the item; you can't bnefit from more than one wand.

I like the concept though; maybe magic stick, three branches and an alternate, more expensive recipe than magic wand. Or you could make it Wand and another recipe.

Change the recipe to a 200g magic stick and an 800g recipe instead of 1000g worth of useless magic sticks.

zzz magic stix can already be upgraded, no need for more items that have same purpose... this is like having 10 boots, but each difference colored.

You need this item for your hero? Why don't you pray more before you start your DotA game? ==

Wut?



Five sticks allows it to be made in the sidelanes, plus I rather find it amusing.
With most any other item the question of why it no longer provides that item bonus arises.
A recipe scroll works too, technically, which would make a reasonable alternate recipe.

You know why I said so? It is not because the item not good. The concept is good. But the statistic you wrote there isn't balance. It looks like a skills. 15 x 25 = ? Even Omniknight's heal couldn't perform so much of heal. And this item can heal mana. This item like giving another skill. If you reduce the max number of charges can be stored then I will say OK. Currently, I am neutral.

DotA really needs items that support the support playstyle (wow 2 s words n a sentence). But this is kinda meh... its ok i guess.

not tongue-twisting enough. but i think he should make it similar to my item, Star Jewel (of course, not exactly the same)
