Really nice guide, +1 from me. I don't actually care about pictures and colours, it's not important. Skills are good but I will take Enfeeble at lvl 10 - without Attribute Bonus at lvl 4. Item build is excellent, Black King Bar plus Aghanim's Scepter is awesome. I will put Orchid Malevolence into situational item. Maybe I will replace it with Ethereal Blade (I didn't try that yet). Excellent guide for first time! ;)
Overall it's quite a nicely written guide, but it could do with a splash of colour, and you can also link to heroes, abilities and items by surrounding them with double square brackets, like so ((Bane)), with [ ] becomes Bane.
Think there's a few extra things worth mentioning:
Bane is not underrated at all.O_o. Also getting enfeeble at level 1 means free farm against most lanes. -30 damage against someone like Invoker who only has about 38 base damage is ****ing amazing. AND IT LASTS FOR 20 SECONDS AT ALL LEVELS. that 20 seconds where an enemy wont be able to farm ****.

Think there's a few extra things worth mentioning:
- Build your Mantle of Intelligence into Null Talisman, provides better stats and only uses one slot
- Bane can work very well as a mid hero, as he's such a good ganker, and benefits from early levels.
- Fiend's Grip goes through magic immunity like Black King Bar (not sure if this is Aghanim's Scepter dependent or not)
