An interesting concept held back by Invoker existing. I think you are in the right track, I love the idea of basically having an ability be focus on one thing but it does teeter to what I call the Tinker Syndrome i.e every ability does nothing with one another and only 1 ability makes them work. I think if anything this hero needs to become fully be invoker but in a different way. What if like invoker it has like a QWE stuff going on but instead it's a combo with the ultimate being the "invoked" spell from said combo. You can then use the orbs to swap like a page 2 so to speak, essentially giving you more spells, depending on which orb is currently in play. So if it's physical its more on the sword while if its magical orb its on the magic you can do with the sword.
