I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm about to tear some parts of this guide apart. First off, let's talk spellcheck/proofreading: You have numerous spelling errors/wrong words used at wrong times. This says to me that you didn't even bother proofreading what you wrote.
Skills: I am all for an early level of gravekeeper's cloak. Depending on the situation, two or three levels, but generally you are better suited getting one level and then maxing soul assumption. Now why would I say that? Because of the mana cost. The extra potential for damage is nice, and I find the I can usually do enough damage at early levels to max out level two soul assumption, but the biggest thing is visage is usually hurting for mana early on. Leveling up soul assumption helps a lot with solving that mana crisis.
Items: While your item choices are not bad alone, when you put it all together it's less powerful than it could be. You are focusing on the disable/armor. How do you get charges in a fight? You cause damage. This is why items like deso and mjolnir are great midgame.
Biggest issue I have is with friends and foes. How did you not mention axe, omni, dazzle, kunka, etc etc. Each one of these heroes can easily kill your familiars accidentally, let alone if they're trying. This is a big deal considering the amount of gold your familiars give. Additionally it handicaps you not having familiars around.
In essence, I think that this guide is not super well thought out and that while the ideas in it are interesting, you are putting all your eggs in one basket, magic damage. Visage is a great semi carry, get him some physical damage and let him work wonders with both his w and his auto attack. If he's supporting that's fine, he can still benefit from damage once you get his basic survival gear, treads and mek.
Additionally, I was curious if you would link yourself on dotabuff or tell us what name you're under so we can check out your games, builds, and playing style, since you didn't link replays.
Thank you for your post... although i think you may be being a tad more rude than you think. As far as the grammar/proofreading i don't really have a lot of free time on my hands to make lots of edits. I apologize but it could be worse. As for the skills I have already mentioned how well Grave Keeper's Cloak scales and is very beneficial in the lane, where charges for your

Ah i see....thank you i'll make a note of that soon. However, the HP drain is only 300 at max level while familiar HP is 300 only at level 1 so as soon as they hit level two its not a one hit wonder anymore.
Your point?

I think this guide is well-conceived on the whole. My only quibble is taking so many early levels in
Thanks for your comment. I do put a few points into
