Old Infest:
Lifestealer infests the body of a target unit, becoming undetectable inside. If the infested unit is an enemy creep or a neutral creep, he can take control of the unit with the help of the Control sub-spell. To get out of the infested unit, the Consume sub-spell needs to be used, which causes area damage when used. If the host is a creep, it also gets killed, and Lifestealer gets healed based on its current health.
Cast range: 150
Mana cost: 50
Cooldown: 100/75/50
Notes: Applies a basic dispel upon cast. Lifestealer is invulnerable and hidden during Infest. Control can be used to take control over infested creeps, and set their movement speed equal to Lifestealer's. Consume can be used to burst out of the host.
New Infest:
Lifestealer infests target creep or allied hero, becoming undetectable inside. The infested unit has its max health increased, and gets healed for the same amount. If the target is a hero, their movement speed gets increased. If the target is a creep, its movement speed gets increased by lass than heroes, and Lifestealer takes control over it. While infested, Lifestealer regenerates health based on his maximum health.
