Krasus [Korialstrasz] (v4.2)

The Dragon Amongst Men

"Long have I worn the form of one mortal creature or another, however, for it has been my choice to walk among you, teaching and learning as I strive for peace among all of us"


Description
Death. Krasus, secretly known as Korialstrasz, has seen his fair share of death, including his own. Thanks to a plot against the Red Dragonflight by the Twilight's Hammer, Krasus gave his life to defend his clutch and his love, the Red Dragon Aspect herself. He was a true hero in the eyes of the Dragonflight, and those close to him as well. Many truly believed that he was dead.

But they were wrong.

Krasus, due to a combination of his own magic and that of the magic used against him, was transported far and wide to a land known as the Nexus. This land, riddled with strife, combat, war, was very similar to Azeroth. Until he could find his own way back, he vowed to help those in need. 

About
Krasus has long been a protector of the mortal races. In the Warcraft novels, Krasus was a member of the Kirin Tor during the Second War serving as a wise member who assisted the likes of Rhonin Redhair. He used his powers to assist his allies and protect against those who might threaten Azeroth's peace. This is how Krasus will be translated into Heroes of the Storm.

His trait, Lifebinder's Love, reaffirms his connections to the Red Dragonflight and his desire to help the mortal races on Azeroth. Minions struck down by Krasus himself will inspire and heal his allies, giving him more of a passive heal than an active one. However, healing is not Krasus's strong point. Krasus, in fact, serves to work in compliment to his mate, Alexstrasza.

His first ability, Mana Shielding, serves to protect his friends and allies, shielding them from harm. Magic Weaponry, Krasus's second ability, Magic Weaponry, assists his allies in a...rather different way. Magic Weaponry will seek to empower his allies so that they hit much stronger in the hopes to slay bigger opponents. Lastly, Krasus is not left defenseless himself, as his third ability Dragonbolt, will decimate his opponents in a rather...stunning display.

Krasus's ultimates are nothing to scoff at. As Krasus has been alive for eons, serving many roles, he has truly become a masterful red dragon. His first ultimate, Lifebinder's Consort, gives into the power fantasy of truly being a dragon, much like Alexstrasza and Deathwing already. Shedding his mortal guise, he will turn into a large red dragon, empowering his attacks and making his abilities heal nearby allies. His second ultimate, Mastery of Life, creates a powerful field that protects his allies reducing the damage they take while inside it.

For mana shield it would be interesting if it gave the hero "they're ability's cost x less mana for the duration of the shield".
