Poison Touch

A poisonous magic is placed on an enemy unit, causing it to move slowly and eventually become paralyzed. The longer the poison takes to set in, the slower the unit will become. After the poison sets in, it takes physical damage per second for 7 seconds. Target moves slower per level.

Level	Mana Cost	Cooldown	Casting Range	Area	Duration	Effects
1	100	15	600	N/A	7 seconds	8 damage per second. Takes 1 second to set in
2	115	13	600	N/A	7 seconds	16 damage per second. Takes 2 seconds to set in
3	130	11	600	N/A	7 seconds	24 damage per second. Takes 3 seconds to set in
4	145	9	600	N/A	7 seconds	32 damage per second. Takes 3 seconds to set in

• Damage type: physical
• This damage is not reduced by damage block abilities (such as Vanguard, Kraken Shell, etc.)
• At level 1 slows target by 33% for 1 second.
• At level 2 slows target by 33% for 1 second and then 66% for another second.
• At levels 3 and 4 slows target by 33% for 1 second, 66% for another second and then completely disables target for 1 second.
• This skill has a ministun that interrupts channeling skills.

Shallow Grave

Shallow Grave prevents any damage from killing the targetted hero for 5 seconds.

Level	Mana Cost	Cooldown	Casting Range	Area	Duration	Effects
1	140	60	400	600	5 seconds	Hero can not be killed
2	130	45	600	600	5 seconds	Hero can not be killed
3	120	30	800	600	5 seconds	Hero can not be killed
4	110	15	1000	600	5 seconds	Hero can not be killed

• Targeted hero's hp won't go lower than 1 for spell duration.
• Shallow Grave will not prevent Axe's Culling Blade ability from killing a hero.
• If the Goblin Techies use Suicide Squad, Attack! while under the effect of Shallow Grave, they will still die.

Shadow Wave

Sends forth a Shadow Wave to heal a few units. Healed units also damage a small area around them for the same amount.

Level	Mana Cost	Cooldown	Casting Range	Area	Duration	Effects
1	80	12	900	475* / 170**	N/A	Dissipates 80 damage, 3 targets
2	90	10	900	475* / 170**	N/A	Dissipates 100 damage, 3 targets
3	100	8	900	475* / 170**	N/A	Dissipates 120 damage, 4 targets
4	110	6	900	475* / 170**	N/A	Dissipates 140 damage, 5 targets

• Damage type: physical
• Will heal you without counting against the targets limit before bouncing to the target.
• If targeted on self, you will not count against the targets limit, then the spell continues bouncing normally.
• Allied heroes are primary target for heal.
• (*) Bounce AoE between units
• (**) Damage AoE around the healed unit
• Heals allied units and damages enemies

Weave

A powerful shadow magic used to increase or decrease defenses over time. Changes armor by 1 every second. Affects allied and enemy heroes in a 575 AOE.

Level	Mana Cost	Cooldown	Casting Range	Area	Duration	Effects
1	100	40	2000	575 (775*)	12 (18*) seconds	Increases or decreases armor by 1 per second
2	100	40	2000	575 (775*)	18 (24*) seconds	Increases or decreases armor by 1 per second
3	100	40	2000	575 (775*)	24 (30*) seconds	Increases or decreases armor by 1 per second

• Places buffs on heroes, so entering or leaving the initial area after the cast won't have any effect.
• Can be improved by Aghanim's Scepter (* shows the improved values).
• Unobstructed sight (800 range day and night) is provided for a short time.

Note: I've been trying to put together some hero spotlights similar to what Hon and Lol have done. I'm only at the starting stages... and quite frankly I don't think I'm experience enough to give advice on the majority of heroes or have the time but you can see what I'm working on here. Anyone who would like to provide their own dialog for a hero spot light can get involved and anyone in the beta can submit their games to be used to generate footage.

*Note unsurprisingly I managed to to mispronounce and spell his name everytime in the video. This is exact the reason I should not be a mod.
