Unique Passive

Searing Script

Skills that hit an enemy burn it for 2.1% of its max HP per second for 3s.

How it works
  • 18% magic resist penetration: the hero's magic damage counts only 82% of the target's magic resist (a share, not a flat amount). Against 200 magic resist 37.9% of a hit lands instead of 33.3% (x 1.14 damage); against 50, 70.9% instead of 66.7% (x 1.06). Penetration from several sources adds up, at most 100%; it does nothing to 0 or negative magic resist.
  • 8% cooldown reduction: skill and item active cooldowns x 0.92, so a 20s cooldown takes 18.4s. Sources add up, at most 50%; relic cuts (Chronal Sandglass, Tinker's Gearbox) multiply after that.
  • 8.8% spell vamp: skills and procs heal the caster for 8.8% of the damage they deal after the target's armor or magic resist (100 damage dealt heals 8.8).

Lore

Bound in the Ashen Wastes by Chainforge heretics from a fractured starfall orb and smoldering bone cinderblight ink. Its pages ignite hostile spellcasters with creeping embers, detonating into celestial starfire whenever incantations flare.

Appearance

A heavy illuminated tome bound in charred leather boards, featuring an inset cerulean glass lens cradled by interlocking bronze bands at the front cover. Pitted brass clasps secure scorched parchment leaves inscribed in oily black ink that carries floating golden embers. Held open in one hand, the codex sheds a persistent sulfurous smoke, flaring with crackling silver lightning and blue embers as spells are chanted.
