He`s finaly here, the wizard. Anticipated by many, he is now fit to enter this competition and meets the basic standards of blizzard. Changes: Has 4 learnable spells instead of 5, all spell levels, except ultimate, now go to 3.

Great job!
How can I change the aura to make a -1/-3/-5 decay aura?
@Dr.Nitro: STFU you noob.

Anyway, I downloaded the other version of these spells so I guess I'll give these a try too.
umm, strategy over power dude. his spells are strong and if there were just a few more simple units to suppliment the wizard, it makes him that much more deadly. he's weak fighting solo, just like any other ranged hero, but deadly in battles. put the keeper of the grove agaisnt some archers, or the archmage, or the blood mage, even the lich, they wont do well either. probably worse. and i could care less if the crypt lord wipes out all the archers. id like to see him in the middle of a fray. the wizard would elminiate most of those enemies, uncluding your spider.
Slipshot you dumbass a hero isnt supposed to die to archers, they do like 2 dmg rofl...buff him if he does. Try putting a cryptlord level 10 against 25 archers and who do you think wins?
The update has been finished on Sept. 11th, 2004 at 11 pm. The Wizard has new projectiles, and a sphere ability just for special effects along with some replaced names. i have the other version still saved, so if u guys think it's too much then let me know and ill revert back.

For those who have lost loved ones on the day of infany, September 11th 2001, my prayers are with you. A good friend of mine in currently stationed near falujah fighting for the lives that were lost on that day and he won't leave until the voices of America are heard, loud and clear.
Man I agree with you slipshot perfect balance, great looking spells and effects, just what I was looking for 5/5.
Check this out!!! An updated version of the Wizard will be released soon. The update includes a different projectile art combined with the sphere ability making his normal attack just as much as a WOW as his spells, but it's not overdone. Replaced a few names with the existing ones that i don't like as much, and more balanced hero strength, agility, and intelligence points to make him a little more balanced. In my honest opinion, he's balanced as it is becuase i put him against 25 archers, who where not upgraded at all, and while casting psionic storm and throwing everything the wizard had at them, he was still taken out with a good 10 archers remaining. so u guys who think he's overpowered, try this, and tell me what u think. He was level 10 while i tested him, by the way, and he still lost.

Status: complete
go to preferences under file in the world editor, go to the 'general' tab, and near the bottom of the window, you'll see an unchecked box that says: "allow negative real values in the world editor." just simply check that box and you're good.
How Do u Make the negative devotion Aura? WITH A -1 2 -3 ARMOR WRITE -1 BUT THE NUMBER IS ALWAYS 0 PLZ TELL ME HOW TO MAKE IT :wink:
by the way, what did u guys think about the hero names? that's where i spent the most time creating. i might end up naming my kid optheratos. that's my fav one.
This guy is good.
Well, better than my guy at least..

...alot better...
actualy, conflagration was not flame strike. i used blizzard! and the frost chain was not shockwave with triggs, i didnt use trigs in this map. it was impale. and for n\/Cl34r, i should maybe give him less agility, which means lower armor. i made him to be powerful as a ranged hero fighting large groups of enemies, but if u send a demon hunter to kill him, or some other melee hero, even a knight and the other powerful melee dudes, u should have no problem against the wizard. and conflagration is deadly, but it costs 145 mana, that's more than flame strike and if a unit stays within a flame strike target area, it would actualy do MORE than conflagration. so to say that conflagration is too powerful, then flame strike is considered a god power. and frost chain, almost equal to impale, but damage was slightly increased and mana cost raised to 115 from 100. and psionic storm, it can last up to 200 seconds depending on how many units it damaged but on average, it only lasts about 15-20 seconds on average. and it costs more than locust swarm which lasts, i think it was 30 seconds. so personaly, i think he's pretty balanced. powerful but expensive. what i did was i altered one of the original spells, and depending on how much i changed it, i changed the mana cost and cooldown. but u gotta admit, Psionic storm is probably the best, untrigged spell on this site.
CAN YOU TEACH ME TO MAKE SPEL.... wait a minute this is EASY to make the phionic storm is locust swarm with new models for locust and new missle art the fire thing was flamestrike with sum special effect triggers and the ice was edited shock wave with triggers.
You surely maxed out the effectiveness of non-triggered basic spells.

Suggestions:
Nerf all abilities except the aura, that hero is overpowered. Esspecially the first and the ultimate are DEADLY.
nice job! :)
Here's where my original wizard was placed:

I think that one's cooler.
Real quick, that fire is not equal to Flame Strike. I used the fire model, but it actualy shoots several rounds of fire and depending on the level, it can shoot several pillars of fire at the same time.
