Channeling Time: 4s

Spinal Tap
"Nothing like the smell of fresh cerebrospinal fluid in the morning!"



 Physician fires a projectile artifact from his gun with the accuracy of a master surgeon directly into the spinal column of a target. Once Tapped in this fashion, Physician can convert the target's mana into healing energy, restoring the HP of any allies within range of himself.

Cooldown: 30s
Range: 600
Area of Effect:500*

Mana Cost: 10% of Physician's maximum MP
Effect:Burns an amount of mana from Tapped Hero equal to 7%/10%/12% of Physician's maximum MP. For each point of Tapped Hero's MP burned in this manner, allied units within 500 units of Physician are healed for 0.3 HP.

Cooldown on Spinal tap is 0.5s.
Tapped can be purged, and is purged on death of either Physician or target.
Tapped is otherwise permanent.
Tapped cannot be applied to more than one hero simultaneously.
