Reposted for a proper vote, and it seemed to be the only balanced and good item.

[ArtFuL]

Will the unit take more magic dmg?
Will the unit be slowed?
If i understood it right it should be like the ghost septer from dota?

[PoNy]

Slows slightly, less then slow poison or glac nuke.
Immune to physical damage.
Small multiplier to magic damage like 1.1 or 1.2
Small multiplier to heal like 1.1 or 1.2

XXX cooldown

This is an useless item when you're sieging. Trying to get/run away from the base without dying using this item would totally kill you when it comes to Demonologists and other units that can use abilities. You can't even attack while using this, no profit, I guess.

It increases the amount you are healed for since it amplifies any magic ability. A simple example would be the Ladder Blood mage and paladin combo, Using banish on friendly units then using holy light for a boosted heal or Banish on Undead unit then lighting for a pump amount of damage.

Can be used on builders to prevent non-magical actions, pump magic damage and small slow.

This definetly not like the ghost scepter...

Actually, it would be very interesting to use during sieges, although probably not a common item to use. You could use the scepter to stop a rewall, or give your nukes that extra boost to kill off the builder. Or you could use it on yourself and then heal (ie Molt uses the item on himself and then heals, gaining 1080 hp and being immune to tower damage (unless it's magic like... fae towers I think)).

[Frankjg]

Sounds like it could be put to use, and is certainly an great concept. Lower the cost just a bit and you'll be fine in my opinion.

Edit: I totally missed the recipe option. Ignore what I said about the cost, this is a great idea. I support it.

Faerie towers do piercing type damage, they would not be able to target the titan during his banished state.  Only thing that can affect a banished unit is an actual spell, not any sort of magic type damage or what have you.

Magic type damage can damage ethereal btw

Yeah, you're right, I'm pretty sure it can.

[Cruncher]

demonologist's food sources deal magic damage

[Neco]

Magic damage =/= Spell damage

[Jux.Mage]

demonologist's food sources deal magic damage

Chaos Damage.

[Coaster_Man]

demonologist's food sources deal magic damage in 6e

Chaos Damage.

[PoNy]

Bump

I think the votes can speak on their own.

I think the votes can speak on their own.

You need more comments from other people why it is good. Not just votes.

[PoNy]

1)Heal multiplier
2)Nuke multiplier on builders
3)small slow
4)prevents rewall since all non spell casting actions are forbidden in ethereal form
5)small amounts of almost invulnerability to get that last second of WW cooldown
6)quickly bring down hunters with nuke barrage

What do you want...

[GunTroll]

What do you want...

i want the game to be less focused on nuking

[SandStormer]

this is a pretty good idea.

[turbo]

This item should be the same price as Abysmal(sp?) Water. The upside to it is you get moar heals and can cast it on builders to do more damage. The downside it you can't attack while using it and if a builder/hunter nukes you they do additional damage.

[RuNm]

It has a few pros and cons, which look to be balanced, but how long will it last? Say for ex, im demo attacking a 7 walls base, i kill 4 walls, use that to not be attacked, have a full set of 6 spines for max regen, and just sit there until full health. The I would proceed to rape the base because they couldn't rewall and i could get them. The cooldown is of less importance currently than how long such an effect would last. I suggest maybe 10 seconds?

Otherwise, i support it 

[turbo]

I would assume 5 seconds, just like abysmal water. Any longer and it's 110g+ item.

[Frankjg]

Just some questions.



Would it last the same time on heroes and on regular units?

Would punishing yourself remove the ethereal effect?

Is the damage multiplier the same as the healing multiplier?

What is the duration/cooldown of such an item?

Will it provide any passive stats along with the activated effect?



Get to em whenever, I'm in no rush. Just trying to get a better idea of how this would be implemented.

[SandStormer]

when used on a builder, eg nat, could they still build?
