Gut lift [W]

[Visuals]
Zartaka makes a short dash towards his victim and takes his both blades and jabs them upward into the victims belly/back.

Skill Mechanics:
Deals initial 25/50/75/100 physical damage. Deal basedamage times duration as in true damage as "dot" (max base + min base / 2 * duration). Channeled spell.

Cooldown: 20
Mana cost: 110
Channeling Time: 1/1,5/2/2,5 Seconds
Casting range: 175
Casting time: 0.1 Seconds

Math without items and flat 20% physical damage reduction (inital damage*0,8 + (max base + min base / 2 * duration))
lvl 1: 20 + 56 damage = 76 damage
lvl 6: lvl 1 -> 20 + 70 = 90, lvl 3 -> 60 + 140 = 200
lvl 12: lvl 4 -> 80 + 207,5 = 287,5
lvl 18: lvl 4 -> 80 + 245 = 325
lvl 25: lvl 4 -> 80 + 295 = 375

With bracer, shrunken head
lvl 18: lvl 4 -> 80 + 337,5 = 417,5

With bracer, shrunken head, behemoth heart
lvl 25: lvl 4 -> 80 + 470 = 550

[Uses] Hold a foe so your team can pound on them. Good damage 1vs1.
[Balance] Fairly long stun with decent damage. But low range so needs to get close to use. Situational since if the channeling is abrupted then low damage otherwise quite high damage.
[Synergy] Easier to get into range after Eviscerate.

Corruption of the land [R]

Zartaka slams his dual blades into the ground, unleashing the dark energies ofthe netherworld which seep out and affect the ground. This results in a initial pulse and when it has reached is outer range the ground will turn a bit darker.

This deals 100/200/300 magic damage. When the pulse reaches 1000 AOE it stops and the ground around him darkens. A debuff is applied to all enemies when standing on the tainted ground.

Deal 70 damage per second, movement reduced by 30/40/50%, mana cost of spells increased by 30/40/50%

Cooldown: 150
Mana cost: 200/250/300
