The psionist blasts target enemy's mind stunning and doing a little damage. If Mind blast is casted on a enemy hero that has psionic charges(given by third skill) , then the negative effect that could be applied by Psionist's presence is automatically applied even if the target does not have enough psionic charges yet. Then the number of charges is set to zero. Cooldown: 12 s Mind blasted effect: Stunned for 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 2.5 seconds Deals 60 / 100 / 140 / 200 magic damage This should be the the bread and butter skill for surviving and harassing the laning phase since psionist is an intelligence hero and cannot benefit of good armor or high hp. Maxing this skill ensures more survivability as well as a decent damage output.

The psionist inject thoughts inside target enemy's mind slowing and decreasing his stats for a short time. Cooldown : 10 s Thoughtcasted : Duration : 3s / 5s / 7s/ 9s Decrease movement speed by 20% / 30% / 40% / 50% Decrease damage by 20% / 30% / 40% / 50% This skill is useful throughout the whole game since it helps ganks by slowing enemies and it remove base damage from hard carries in late game. The slow effect should be used to reduce enemy's chances to escape from a gank.

The psionist's presence blows other heroes minds: more they stay close, more psionic presence charges they get. Each level of this skill has a number of charges required for this skill to trigger. So for example: at lvl 3 this skill will automatically trigger on each nearby hero that has at least 30 charges on him. This will burn 80 mana from the psionist and each enemy hero will get one of the 3 possible negative effects for 4s. Mana cost at trigger per level : 50/ 70 / 80 / 90 Charges required per level : 60 / 50 / 30 / 10 Charges per second close to psionist : 2 Pool of negative effects applied : Level 1 : decrease attack speed Level 2 : decrease attack speed , decrease magic armor Level 3 : decrease attack speed , decrease magic armor , damage over time Level 4 : decrease attack speed , decrease magic armor , damage over time , silence Negative effect duration: 3s / 4s/ 5s/ 6s The duration scales with levels while effects don't change: Decrease attack speed : -10 attack speed Decrease magic armor : -5 magic armor Damage over time : 40 damage per second Silence

The psionist connect his mind with the mind of target enemy hero taking control of the target and crippling his mind, doing some damage over time. During the time he got the control he cannot use skills or items but he can attack teammates or move. This skill is on channeling. Mindslave duration : 5 / 8 / 11 s (channeling time) Damage per second : 10 / 15 / 20 This is a useful skill to remove a hero from a teamfight (actually turning it into an enemy for the opposite team) or to totally disable a hero during a gank, in this case , Mindslave is useless if used alone since the psionist can't do anything during the channeling time (unless you make the target tower dive) . Mindslave could also be used to prevent ganks, disabling the ganker, moving it away from the psionist and letting your team teleport and help you.
