Disruption	Eredar banishes the target to a dimensional pocket for 2.5 seconds, removing it from play for the duration. Upon return two images of the target are created under Eredar's control. Notes • (*) Pause duration/Illusion duration• The -disablehelp command will prevent an allied Shadow Demon from casting this spell on you.

Shadow Poison	Eredar casts forth a shadowy poison which deals 50 damage and afflicts all it touches for 10 seconds.

At the end of the duration, the shadow poison deals extra damage for each time it affected the victim.

Hero Introduction
The Shadow Demon is one of the strongest supports to setup kills with. Disruption banishes a target enemy for a short time, allowing allies to setup their stuns properly. It can also be used to save an ally from enemy skills. Furthermore, it creates illusions of the targeted hero, which gives Shadow Demon a powerful damage tool if used on carries. Soul Catcher amplifies the damage that an enemy takes, which can make even tanky heroes relatively squishy and lets you and your allies quickly finish off that enemy. Shadow Poison allows Shadow Demon to contribute to the damage output by stacking a DoT on enemies that deals an increasing amount of damage per stack. If that still is not enough, he can use his ultimate to cripple an enemy and deal damage after a short delay. Overall, Shadow Demon might not be a bursty nuker, but with his abilities to purge enemies, setup allied disables, amplify damage and his increasing damage over time, he's a very powerful support in assisting kills.
Background story
Long before the war of the Scourge and the Sentinel, an ancient demon named Eredar waged war on all creation. No champion of Light could match him, but he was betrayed and killed by his own underlings. However, the faintest sliver of his shadow survived; over the millenia Eredar regained a portion of his former being and grows stronger each day, even managing to retake his old appearance. Eredar's new form is not well suited to direct confrontation, but he knows a number of objurations and tricks to deal with his foes; his skills include banishment, poison, curses, and darker demonic arts.
