DOTA IDEAS A DOTA 2 INTERACTIVE FORUM

I've always been fascinated with consumables and the spikes they give during early game - a well timed fairy fire or a blood grenade is always fun to watch. This item is a weird mix between a fairy fire and a quelling blade. One one hand it might help carries get those last last hits, or to get that first blood, but on the other hand the supports can use it to better harass the carry. In the mid lane it can be used as a crucial tipping point item to push the enemy out of the lane before a big level-up or similar.

From an economic perspective, it has no passive bonuses, simply because the bonus damage is quite high for the early game. It application grants some flexibility, as it can be used by carries and supports alike, for different purposes. Lore-wise, it also makes sense that a potion only starts its effect when drunk. Damage wise, it'll roughly during early game increase melee damage by 25% and ranged damage by 17% which seems fair. A niche scenario for the late game might be to consume 3 at once, and get a demon edge when defending.
