Elemental Mage (or short: EM) is a versatile hero that switches its primary attribute when aligning to elements. It can be a bit compared to Invoker, but it relies more on switching forms than creating skills. Think of it as a mixture of Invoker and Morphling.
Keep in mind that EM only has 1 active skill at a time, so aliging to a new element replaces the old skill.

That's about it :) Any suggestions, please post a comment :)

Changed title to "Hero Concept" instead of "New Hero" to avoid confusion.

Shouldn't it be obvious because of the forum type? Thanks however :)

Honestly, I think this hero looks a lot like a combo of Invoker and Morphling, except he has no ultimate and he could only use 2 abilities at a time. Sorry for the hate, but if his ability depending on his element just steals from Invokers playbook. :( Sorry

Wex Quas Exort!

Other than that aqua shield looks ridiculously OP. The E-HP (Effective Health Points) increase is massive. Toss looks a little off since an AoE probably should not have a five second stun.
