A desire for theme-based spells

Basically, I'm making a new map lightly based off dark deeds 5. Currently I'm working on spell ideas when I'm not tweaking my systems.

What I have is below, I'm looking for ideas or improvements along those lines. These spells will not be publically released until at least 30 days after the map is completed and released.

Harvest - 30 second channel

First 15 seconds, creates one crop every X seconds.
Last 15 seconds, harvests one crop every x seconds.

Level 1 - Every 5 seconds
Level 2 - Every 3.5 seconds
Level 3 - Every 3 seconds


----

Herd - Could use some insight on what I might to with this


----

Righteous Bulwark - Invincibility Spell

60 second cooldown, if you don't have < 25% HP, no effect.
"You have angered your God with this false cry for help!"
"Your God has shown mercy upon you and blessed you with his mighty hand"

Level 1 - 10 second duration
Level 2 - 20 second duration
Level 3 - 30 second duration

For herd you could use it to move all your sheep and the like in an x area around the caster to a given point, x being what goes up with level.

Burning Brightly : Drains life per second in exchange for a beacon of light that protects you from the undead. Channeling, area increases with level.


Vampirical Vaccine - Vaccine to ward off the effects of vampires and werewolves infecting your cattle/etc. Cooldown decreases with level.


If you're basing it off dark deeds, then I have a unique idea for an evil entity:

Skin Flayer : Each unit killed gives this guy so many points, for now lets call them skin points. For each 'level' of skin points, he gets one more armor.

Ghost : Unable to attack. Can possess things for a short amount of time. Invisible, Invulnerable. Can only be defeated by aquiring an item created in a horadric cube type device. While possessing a unit, the unit being possessed takes damage per second.

Ghost also uses the following spells:

Sleep : self-exp

Nightmare : use on a sleeping unit, inflicts damage per sec.

I think I need to play Dark Deeds... for it seems like those spells are very... un-fun.

For Herd you could make it based off taunt and make it only affect neutral passive. Although sheep and the like dont have attacks, still an idea.

Also, if the 'unnamed map' in your sig is the one you're talking about in this thread, I have an idea for a name: Militian Tactics. I say this because a farmer raising an army is sorta like the formation of a militia.
