It is not surprising the magical enigma of the Nexus would be drawn to one who could master it. The eyes of the watchful glitter and his blade gleams at the untapped potenial... that whom crushes the arcane in his palm has arrived. @Level 1 Health: 2300 - 2450 Health Regen: ~5.0 Mana Regen: ~3 Attack speed: ~1.20 Attack Damage: 80 - 90
With the prevalence of the mages in Heroes of the Storm it is high time we have a mana-draining hero! (Of course, more mana-supplying abilities would be nice too) This character is aimed to reduce the effects of ability damage and perhaps ponder the diversification of hero compositions.
I laid out a talent tree, but it is by no means perfect; it provides the overall concept I am trying to show. I tried to include some familiar talents while giving ole' Dawnglory here unique abilities. I believe there is some synergy within his talent selection/abilities, and I had to shuffle them around quite a lot. Numbers and pretty pictures are also tentative, but I will try my best to include some later.
And, no, I only gave him a surname. Not sure what else to call him.

CHANGE LOGS;
2/9/2016 -Added numerical values for health, health regeneration, mana, mana regeneration, attack speed, and auto attack damage.This was based on a comparison of Anub'arak, Sonya, and Artanis' stats @ level 1. While I believe he should be able to take damage, his relatively low health pool should balance how much utility he would bring. -Colored and structured aforementioned values in abilities.
