=======
It now gives vision gradually as it grows in the area it is "illuminating"
rather than at the end.
Fixed Illuminate's interaction with Cliffs and units very close to it
Mana Leak:
========
In short, a mana rupture. The numbers are 0.035/0.04/0.045/0.050% of total
manapool drained per unit moved. So, if the target moves 700 units, at level
1 it loses 24.5% of total mana pool.. at level 4 it loses 35% of its total
mana pool. Duration of the buff is 5/6/7/8
If the target runs out of mana, the effect stops and the target is stunned
for 1.25/1.5/1.75/2 seconds.
Cast Range: 1200
Cooldown: 20 seconds
Manacost: 75
Chakra:
======

bonus and minor health regen.

He has ALL his abilities in this new form.

distance over 0.4 seconds.
-Cast Range: 600
-Mancost: 50 Manacost
-Cooldown: 20 seconds
-Duration: 3/4/5 seconds
Recall:

player based damage in this period, the effect ends.
-Mancost: 100
-Cooldown: 40
Illuminate:
-Causes illuminate to self charge when cast in spirit form. You can
discharge it by clicking on a temporary replacement icon that appears in
your ability card.
++ Enchantress
Untouchable:

It now is a normal skill and scales 30/50/70/90% from 50/70/90%
Enchant:
=========
Creep control duration reduced from 120 to 80 seconds.
Impetus:

Cooldown is 0 seconds on all levels. As an ultimate it now pierces magic
immmunity
++ Bounty Hunter
Track:
======

allied units. The bonus bounty is given to bounty hunter as long as the
target dies while under the buff, the killer is not a factor. See tooltip

Greater Quillbeast 700 -> 500 hp
Cooldown: 45/50/55/60 -> 40 seconds
Duration: 60/70/80/90 -> 60 seconds
Captains Mode:
--------------
Blue and Pink are the team captains. A random side starts the process(you
can customize this, see below)
Ban Time: 40
Pick Time: 60
Extra Time: 45
You start by alternating 1/1/1 in the ban phase. Each captain removes up to
4 heroes. Running out of time does not result in a random hero ban.
After that you enter the 1/2/2/ pick phase. Each captain picks the heroes
his team will use.
If at any time you run out of time, you start to use up your extra time. If
you run out and you are in pick phase, you get a random hero.
Creeps spawn 90 seconds after the pick draft phase is over. Right after the
hero pick phase ends, the 5 heroes for your team are presented with a
checkmark on them (RD style) allowing players on your team to pick which one
they want to be.
The captain that starts this process is random. If you want to give the
starting to Sentinel, type -cm 1 or -cm 2 for Scourge after the game mode is
entered.
The picks, bans, timers, etc are all presented in a board for easy viewing
by team mates and observers.

for 1.25/1.5/1.75/2 seconds.

Captains Mode:
--------------
Blue and Pink are the team captains. A random side starts the process(you
can customize this, see below)
Ban Time: 40
Pick Time: 60
Extra Time: 45
You start by alternating 1/1/1 in the ban phase. Each captain removes up to
4 heroes. Running out of time does not result in a random hero ban.
After that you enter the 1/2/2/ pick phase. Each captain picks the heroes
his team will use.
If at any time you run out of time, you start to use up your extra time. If
you run out and you are in pick phase, you get a random hero.
Creeps spawn 90 seconds after the pick draft phase is over. Right after the
hero pick phase ends, the 5 heroes for your team are presented with a
checkmark on them (RD style) allowing players on your team to pick which one
they want to be.
The captain that starts this process is random. If you want to give the
starting to Sentinel, type -cm 1 or -cm 2 for Scourge after the game mode is
entered.
The picks, bans, timers, etc are all presented in a board for easy viewing
by team mates and observers.
