Zeke was once just an average magician, using the powers of arcane magic for his need, known best for his extremely quick temper. This temper got him into countless duels with other mages, often for the most trivial of disagreements. One day, dueling in a deep canyon, Zeke blinked away from his opponent, but miscalculated and teleported right into nearly solid rock. No one knows how he survived, save his immense willpower. He lay there, stuck, for years, soul and spirit mingling with the gemstones buried there. His very mind became attuned to them, and over time he learned how to manipulate them to his needs. Finally, having mastered this art, he used the crystals to break free of his prison, free at last. Along with his beloved gems that are now as much a part of him as his flesh, combining them with the powers of arcane, Zeke roams the world once more…

Pretty simple, you get to make a gem that floats around you at a radius (that can be changed) doing pretty crappy damage. but they also add other effects based on what they are...

Amythyst

Silences units hit for 1 second (4 seconds if slung)

Diamond

Reveals Invisible units within a 200 AoE of the gem. Upon hitting a unit, they are revealed for 4 seconds (8 seconds if slung).

Emerald

4 damage per second for 10 seconds + 20% chance to miss on attacks. stacks up to 3 times.

Ruby

15 damage per second for 3 seconds, flames can jump to nearby targets. can only be hit by this once every 4 seconds.

Sapphire

Slows movement by 30% for 2 seconds

Sling

One of your gems gets destroyed in the process but you get a quick damage burst and do some AoE ~~devistation~~ tickles. If you spam this the damage will ramp such that you are doing up to almost twice as much damage per cast eventually.

Trust me, it all adds up.

on top of that, it is an AoE invis reveal, silence, slow, DoT and evasion all in one.

Prism

Countless images?

maybe 3 of each hero, with 4 of you (one masking your invisibility)

another gem sacrificed, but for the ensured confusion, this is all worth it.

0.5 second fade time on your invisibility.

Images' life reflects that of its original.

Rift

spamming low cost, low damage spells is the name of the game, you are fragile so try and keep that in mind, use this to get in or get out. Also used for chasing.

Wow?

requires half your max gems to cast?

oh well.

but he kinda needs his ulti because he is weak-sauce without it...
i might be able to think of something.

99 By Ghost 2009-11-13

lol if only this hero wasn't made a week and a half before the release of Kassadin.

I was considering a rework for LoL, but.. that means I need to make a new ulti now.

unless i make a kassa a new ulti.

98 By Fazy 2009-11-11

Nice idea, man. But I want to see it on test map, if it works. Hero base is spamming of abilities, similar to bristle but different... Hmm.

Great idea. I'm not sure I understand your item build, but the hero himself looks sweet.

95 By devil4dota 2009-11-02

a cool idea from some complex thinking...
but it may be difficult to chain and use his powers... and also all stacking powers need to be recast several times.. which makes the matter still difficult.. :|...

and what for is sange yasha in an int build ?

94 By Pobelt 2009-11-01

lol, somebody's been playing league of legends.. sounds like taric + riftwalk

93 By Toques 2009-10-28

Create gems: Your level in damage, you mean if u are lvl 15 you do 15 damage to each unit with each gem?

a bit confusing heroe, and it is somewhat another ivoker

92 By Daniel03228 2009-10-28

91 By Niloy_47 2009-10-26

87 By Ghost 2009-10-12

KinkaJoe made my story,

86 By KinkaJoe 2009-10-12

hey ghost....
can i get credit for my story lol?
yes, me and my pride...
tyvm

85 By Ghost 2009-10-11

sending this away from the front page.

84 By Ghost 2009-10-11

nope ^_^
i'm saying i designed him to be most effective when using these items.

the rest is up to you guys to figure out.

as for gems slowing.
1 gem slows, so every 10 seconds on average, after spening lots of mana, you get a 2 second slow.
but then if you have that gem flying around you, the amount of slow essentially doubles. but then you need to not cast spells.

hot damn.

83 By MAATTAAN 2009-10-11

So you're saying he should get sny just because he have high agi gain and can be a dps?
Sny is not a dps item but rather a chasing item for agi and str heroes who benefit more from it, Zeke already have the slow from his gem. I would'nt get it for him.
