Mass Teleport gives Antonidas the ability to teleport his allies at allied structures for added utility but with it's high cooldown it must be used sparingly for high skilled plays.
Arcane Barrier is a versatile shielding ability, as it can be activated to restore health at the cost of using more of Antonidas' mana though the healing bonus can only be used once which allows for another level of decision making, do you activate your heal to grant health to all of your allies with the shield or wait it out to preserve more mana.
Shimmering Vortex allows for Archmage Antonidas to deal damage on his own, Shimmering Vortex allows for a set up as it roots enemy heroes in place and slows them afterwards, a large amount of potential setup.
Verdant Gem is the Grand Magus' way of restoring mana to his allies, dropping a gem on the ground which can be combined into a greater gem to restore a much larger amount of mana or keep them individual keeping them at small amounts of mana.
Eye of Dalaran is most powerful when used as a set up, allowing for the Archmages' allies to capitalize on the reduced armor and spell power granted by Antonidas.
Protective Field this is Antonidas' iconic ability from WC3 where Arthas approached Dalaran, erecting a anti-undead field, this ability allows for massive combo potential as it grants his allies faster cooldowns and movement speed while reducing the enemies damage dealt, great if used with Graviton Surge.
Antonidas channels for 1.5 seconds, teleporting all nearby allied heroes to a friendly structure.

What is the radius of "nearby allied heroes"?I mean how close should they be to Antonidas?
Can your enemies stun/silence you to cancel this channel? Or is it just like Guldan's, which means if you get stunned/silenced. it goes on a 10 seconds Cooldown?
Target an allied hero, minion or mercenary, granting them a 158 (+4% per level) hitpoint shield for 7 seconds. Arcane Barrier can be reactivated to restore 235 (+4% per level) to all targets with an active Arcane Barrier.
Restore Health?
In a line, deal 122 (+4% per level) damage to all enemies in it's path, after 1 second root all enemy heroes and after being rooted slow them for 45% for 2 seconds.
What is the range and radius of this line? And Root duration?
Imo, but this is too much CC for 1 ability with 6 seconds cooldown. Idk, maybe just delete Root part and decrease slow to 35?
Place a crystalline gem on the ground, restoring 70 mana to an allied hero. Placing another gem in the same location increases the mana restored by 50.
So basically Deckard's Potions, but for Mana?
Heroics
Protective Field is ALOT better than Eye of Dalaran because 50% CD reduction is better than +15% spell power.
Hi, I discussed this hero concept with CavalierGuest earlier this week and he had some thoughts that I want to address here and address your thoughts as well.
The channel is interruptible and the range is 5 and will go on a 10s cd if interrupted.
It does restore health thats my bad!
Range is 4, radius is like Medivh Q. Root duration is 1 second thats my poor wording (it's supposed to explode in the line after 1 second for 1 second.)
Yes, I wanted a mana healer that focused on it rather than your traditional healing/supporting.
Cav and I discussed how both ultimates could be good it just depends on composition.
