Itherael

Archangel of Fate

Shop Description: Itherael keeps watch over Talus'Ar the scroll of fate. On it is written nearly all things that are or ever will be, and they* are the most knowledgeable of all the Angiris Council.

Mouse-Over Description: A tricky support who requires a lot of pre-planning to work effectively.

Actual Description: My main focus with working Itherael into the game was to put a massive emphasis on time. Planning and forethought are essential to playing Itherael, as both your only heal and only escape are on a significant delay. With proper management, Itherael can become a powerhouse of sustaining their team and debuffing the enemy team with careful usage of his spells and resources, controlling the battlefield from a position of safety and enabling their allies to freely pick the enemy team apart at their leisure.

Health 1800 (+4%/lv)
Health Regen 4/s (+4%/lv)

Mana 500 (+10/lv)
Mana Regen 3/s (+4%/lv)

Attack Speed 1/s
Attack Damage 70 (+4%/lv)
Attack Range 5.5 (Standard range for ranged characters.)


*On the subject of Itherael's Gender: Itherael is occasionally referred to as male, though both their followers and bretheren refer to the Archangel as neither male nor female. As such, I presume the angel to have no gender and will be referred to with a singular "they" in this concept.

Combat Trait

1
Ill Omen
Functionality Affected enemies have a small angelic scroll icon above their head.

Enemies damaged by Itherael are afflicted with Ill Omen for 2.5 seconds. While under the effects of Ill Omen, their cooldowns refresh 25% slower. Further damage refreshes the duration.

Primary Abilities

1
Restore Fate
Mana 40
Cooldown 6 seconds
Range Identical to Holy Light (Uther Q)
Functionality After activating the ability, a light surrounds the target before bursting in a low flash at the end of the delay.

Heal an ally for 320 (+4%/level) health after 1.25 seconds. If the ally dies before the heal occurs, reset the cooldown of Restore Fate.
2
Bonds of Talus'Ar
Mana 80
Cooldown 14 seconds
Range Scroll unfurls like a wave of light, but with double the width.
Functionality Sends forth a scroll that remains on the ground before curling back up and disappearing. Damage ticks every 0.5 seconds. After it curls up, the slow happens again to all heroes that touched the zone.

Roll Talus’Ar forward, slowing enemies by 40% as long as they remain inside its bounds and damaging them for 40 (+4%/level) damage per second. This zone lasts for 3 seconds, and enemies are slowed again when it ends. This slow lasts the same amount of time Talus’Ar touched them while active.
3
Timestride
Mana 60
Cooldown 12 seconds
Range Teleport range is 10% longer than Li-Ming's base teleport range.
Functionality slightly blur Itherael as he prepares to teleport, with a spectral duplicate of himself trailing a few pixels behind, like running in Castlevania: Symphony of the night.

Gain 20% movement speed for 2 seconds and pass through units, but not terrain. At the end of that time, teleport forward a short distance in the direction you are facing.

Secondary Abilities

1
Fated Appearance
Cooldown 20 seconds
Range Identical to Medivh's Dust of Appearance

Reveal all enemy heroes in range for 3 seconds.
2
Chosen One
Cooldown 45 seconds
Range Same range as Restore Fate.

Remove all Ill Omens and grant an ally 15 armor per Omen removed for 3 seconds. (Max 75 armor.)

Heroic Abilities

1
Gaze into the Past
Mana 100
Cooldown 100 seconds
Range Placement range is about as long as Auriel's Ray of Heaven, and similar in size.
Functionality after a 0.5 second delay, during which Itherael channels and an angelic rune appears in the area. Affected heroes have a hazy, indistinct ghost following them.

After a 0.5 second delay, summon duplicates of all enemy heroes in an area that follow their movement perfectly on a 0.5 second delay. These duplicates are unstoppable, do not attack, do not block movement, and cannot be affected by enemy heroes. Any damage dealt to a copy is also dealt to the hero, but a single source cannot damage both of them. Copies last 5 seconds.
2
Unravel Fate
Mana 85
Cooldown 90 seconds
Range Range is 70% of Restore Fate
Functionality The target is surrounded in a bluish white glow that spirals off of them as they are healed.

Changelog

v 1.1
Corrected an error in Final Destiny.
Switched the levels of Crackling Scroll (formerly Lv.4) and Spacetime Depression (formerly Lv.13) to better represent that those tiers are geared towards movement and damage, respectively.
Renamed Ultimate Fate to Time Warp

v 1.2
Added a duration to Gaze Into the Past. It was not supposed to be indefinite.
Renamed Spacetime Depression to "Persistence of Memory"
Moved Effortless Movement to Level 13, as it seemed like that tier would mostly focus on Ill Omen and it felt odd to have it at level 16.
Added a new talent "Thief of Fates" to level 16
Reduced the effectiveness of Glorious Incandescence by having it increase the cooldown of Restore Fate.
Changed the level 20 upgrade of Gaze Into the Past to "Eternal Conflict" a new ability to extend the duration of the effects.

v 1.3
Corrected a spelling mistake in the "Wheel of Fortune" Talent.
Added the talent "Righteous Indignation" which grants allies Protected for a short time after being healed by Restore fate at level 16.
Renamed "Quick Reading" to "Out of Time"

v 1.4
Renamed "Righteous Indignation" to "Written in Stone." as I felt Righteous indignation better fit Imperius than Itherael.
Crackling Scroll now also increases the base damage of Bonds of Talus'Ar.
Upped AA range from 4 to 5.5 after seeing I had misremembered standard AA range.

v1.5
Added new icons and descriptions for Itherael's active abilities granted by talents.

Thank you. Creating a support that takes advantage of a time theme is quite tricky, but I think Itherael does it well.
