3)Divine Fury:
-Description: Calls down to his enemies pillars of light to damage and blind them temporarely. The pillars that fall are random, so they don�€™t always hit the enemy, but the blinding effect still applies. Lasts 5 seconds.
-Type: AoE Nuke/Disabler
Mana Cost: 85/105/125/145, Cooldown: 12, Range: 300/320/340/360.
Level 1: 3 pillars, with 100damage/pillar. 10% miss, 350 AoE.
Level 2: 5 pillars, with 185damage/pillar. 20% miss, 380 AoE.
Level 3: 7 pillars, with 270damage/pillar. 30% miss, 410 AoE.
Level 4: 9 pillars, with 380damage/pillar. 40% miss, 440 AoE


-Synergy: Items - Radiance Mostly (AoE damage + evasion). Also, The Butterfly could fit quite nice for the evasion, still, Radiance should be the best option.
Heroes - Tinker, Panda (% to miss spells), or any hero with evasion. Any AoE nuker (Lina's LS, Rilay's ultimate, Necrolyte's DP).


-Note: The pillars fall like in the Freezing Field spell, so they are 100% random.

4)Spiritual Donation(Ultimate):
-Description: By performing a donation in gold, the Templar is able to choose an ally, and ressurect him in the event of death.
-Type: Active revival spell
Mana cost: 250/300/350. Cooldown: 80/85/90. Range: 20.000 range

Level 1: Ressurection gold cost: 600, Casting Time: 10 seconds, Hero comes back to life with 50% MP/HP, mark lasts 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Level 2: Ressurection gold cost: 500, Casting Time: 12 seconds. Hero comes back to life with 60% MP/HP, mark lasts 1 minute and 47 seconds.
Level 3: Ressurection gold cost: 400, Casting Time: 14 seconds. Hero comes back to life with 70% MP/HP. mark lasts 2 minutes.

-Framework: Target a friendly unit(preferably hero), and mark him with a buff(add a special effect on his head, preferably Inner Fire).
For a concrete example:
You have LVL3 spell, so ressurection cost is 400. When the spell is cast, remove 200 from the Templar's owning player. When the ressurection is performed, remove another 200 gold. If the player doesn't have 200 gold anymore, drain 300 of the hero's mana.
This should be somehow included in the spell description, but in a shorter version.


-Synergy: This can work excellently on any hero with Aegis of Immortal built on him, but, will own with an allied King Leoric.
Also, making an Aegis on this hero will work great: Aegis + SD will make the hero very hard to kill.


-Notes: Only one unit can be marked at a time.(Refresher orb will refresh only cooldown).
This can be casted on the Templar, but at a +25% gold cost.
My description I gave is pretty complicated, but it can be reworked.


VI) General Synergy:

Mostly a support hero/pusher, the High Templar can firstly do Divine Fury to severely damage enemy creeps, then rush to kill them. With a Battlefury, he can more easely kill, and then Redempt enemy creeps. Then, order his creeps to attack, casting Avo's Guard for defense.
Team Strategy: High Templar + Furion + Enchantress + Sven + Holy Knight
-Furion, Dryad, Chen and Templar -> Summon/Convert Creeps
-Templar and Sven -> Boost Armor
-Enchantress and Chen -> Heal Creeps
This is a very effective pushing strategy. Equip templar with Ring of Basilius and a Helm of Dominator. Cast Spiritual Donation on Sven, for he will be in front. Then, push with Sven, Furion and Enchantress, with Chen protecting the High Templar, while the High Templar channels Avo's Guard.
In defense, mark Sven with Spiritual Donation, then Divine Fury the enemy's creeps. After, channel Avo's Guard, while Dryad and Chen convert enemy creeps. Also, Furion will mass creep summon, with a probable Refresher Orb + Necromonicom.
The best idea will be trying to equip all heroes with Aegis of Immortal, and a Helm of Dominator. Also, Sven should make a Ring of Basilius (which stacks with his Devotion Aura and Templar Avo's Guard spell). This is a very effective pushing strategy, involving much team work and micro-managment.
