Firestorm Debuff

- This ability replaced the current Firestorm in the 6.72 gameplay patch, but was reverted to the current one in the 6.75 gameplay patch.
- Each wave takes 1 second to come down, so the first wave hits 1 second after channel start and the last wave 3 seconds after channel start.
- This means the last second of the channeling can be canceled without wasting any wave, since the last wave already spawns 2 seconds after channel start.
- The burn debuff does not stack per interval. Each interval refreshes its duration, resulting in 5 possible burn damage intervals.
- Deals 16.5/24/31.5/39 damage per wave + 5 damage per second to buildings.
- Can deal up to 133/315/390/475 total damage to units (before reductions) when all waves hit and the debuff is not dispelled.
- Can deal up to 74.5/97/119.5/142 damage to buildings.

- When Underlord or the teleport target dies during the delay, Dark Rift is canceled.
