When the time of day changes, the previous set of spells is replaced with the next set. The passive ultimate, Twilight Ritual, doesn't change. The progression of spells' replacement is shown below: Day->Twilight->Night->Twilight->Day->Etc

Now...
WHAT THE HELL IS 'TWILIGHT'?
For the purposes of this hero idea, twilight is the period of time from (on the Warcraft clock):
- One orb until the end of night until two orbs from the start of day (ie it lasts for two orbs' duration plus the time taken for the night->day transfer).
- One orb until the end of day until two orbs from the start of night (ie it lasts for two orbs' duration plus the time taken for the day->night transfer).
When the clock reaches full orbs, twilight begins. When the clock reaches two orbs on the next day/night, twilight ends. Every other time is either day or night as usual. ... you know, the clock at the top-centre of the screen? With day and night orb thingies? That clock.
I was going to provide screenshots to explain that, can you believe it? This way is so much easier.
NORMAL Discussion Section: Pros and Cons:
Pros: High base Intelligence and Intelligence gain (22 + 3.0). High base movespeed (315). Very versatile with multiple spell-sets. DPS potential with good (18 + 2.0) Agility and Noonlight/Twilight Vortex. Great in big fights with all AOE spells.
Extremely powerful at twilight.
Inbuilt escape skill.
Cons: Low base Strength and Strength gain (17 + 1.6). Spells require a lot of mana, particularly during twilight. Not nearly as useful during the day or night. Not good in small fights where AOE isn't as effective.
Skill(Set) Description:
Day Spells: Sesani in support mode. From left to right: AOE heal, AOE vision buff, AOE AS+MS buff.
Night Spells: Sesani in hunter mode. From left to right: AOE nuke, AOE vision debuff, AOE slow.
Twilight Spells: Sesani in god mode. Each Twilight spell does BOTH effects from the day and night version of the spell, and with more power, higher mana cost, and lower cooldown. Skill Synergy:
Shift -> Vortex -> Ray: Shift in on top of your target heroes (allies/enemies/both), speed them up or slow them down, then heal them or nuke them as appropriate. Items:     
- Treads: Seeing as you have a Blink skill, you don't necessarily need the greater movespeed of BoT - and this, combined with Vortex and Orchid, makes you a powerful DPSer.
- Guinsoo: Keystone Intel item - provides everything you need to spam your spells. And a disable.
- Orchid: Because you are not satisfied with your spam yet. And attack speed. And another disable.
- Shiva: More AOE. More armor, which will make you harder to kill combined with your good Agility gain (for an Intel hero).
- Skadi: Makes you dangerous due to frost attack and massive due to everything else.
- I haven't got a clue what to put down as item number six...
Allies:Mana Heroes:    
Anyone who can get you more mana is great, because you really need it! Any DPS Hero:     
Just to name a few... you have an AOE attack-speed buffer, 60% of their attack power is a powerful thing.
Enemies: Silencers:   
Spell-reliant hero without spells. Uhh-huh, guess how long that'll last... for a hero with hp like Sesani, not long enough for the silence to wear off. Disablers:     
Blink skill, eh? So what - you can't move. Fat lot of good it does here... Manaburners: 
Oh, gods. Evil. Get it off... also, AM can probably one-hit you with Mana Void and NA can combo you for the same effect. In theory, every hero is an ally or an enemy - it just depends on which side they're on. The heroes in the sections above are examples and/or heroes to pay special attention to.
Comments and suggestions welcome within reason, balance changes will be considered if necessary. If you think there is something wrong, tell me what it is if you want me to do something about it!
