Here's just a small taste of some of the abilities that will be available in the update of Alchemist. These are by no means final and are almost guaranteed to change from their current descriptions. Magic costs are decided relatively, exact costs will be determined after testing their effectiveness through tons of closed beta-testing.
I figured that this would be interesting to most people, as this is probably the most important change to the game's mechanics and hopefully will bring about a ton of different flavors of meta-game! Feel free to discuss or ask questions about any of the abilities! :)

Gravity sounds like something I would want people to use on me.
|
Ignite?
This is such a League ripoff. | |
Yeah, but it doesn't effect hard-drop. That's why I added something that would be a lot more harmful for your opponent if racing to deal damage was an issue, see Dilute.
I suspect that Gravity won't see much competitive usage while Dilute probably will. | |
Day #48:
I still have no idea what hard-drop is. | |

I can't wait to play. My laptop broke and I don't know when I'm going to get a new one, so I guess I'm stuck with posts and screenshots for now. Heh.
