Active Skill 1

Seal of Silk Binding
Cooldown: 9
Cost: 40
Shi throws her magical tool to a designated location, dealing 120/144/168/192/216/240 (+18% Spell Power) magic damage to enemies in the area and pulling them towards the tool. The silk will also wrap around an enemy hero, allowing Shi to pull that hero in a direction when she reactivates the skill within 5 seconds. If the enemy is too far from Shi, they won't be affected. This skill deals double damage to non-hero units.

During its duration, it emits energy attacks every 0.5 seconds, dealing 200/240/280/320/360/400 (+36% Spell Power) magic damage to nearby enemies. The first hit reduces enemy movement speed by 30% for 1.5 seconds, with subsequent hits on the same target reducing damage by 25%. After 2 seconds, the orb explodes, dealing 150/180/210/240/270/300 (+27% Spell Power) magic damage, with enemies in the inner circle taking double damage.
