— Invoker invokes Shimare's name when using one of his spells
|
” |
Shimare is a character in the lore of Dota 2.
Biography[]
Mayhaps Shimare created the E.M.P. or at least was involved in its creation since their possessive name is invoked when others cast this spell.[1] Hence, Shimare should be a mage.
But it isn't just Shimare who is invoked when others cast the spell, as Endoleon is also invoked when others cast it.[2][3] It's unknown if these two mages are related to each other.
Since the young Invoker (who existed during the ancient times when spell-casting was once at its most potent form because it was still primarily a mnemonic art) learned the E.M.P. spell alongside his nine other invocations, Shimare must have existed during this golden age of magic as well and hence this obscure mage must've been an ancient one too.[4]
Relationships[]
Inheritance[]
In his youth, the Invoker learned Shimare's E.M.P. alongside the nine other spells he currently wields, using three Wex orbs to invoke this spell for casting.
Other Characteristics[]
Immortality[]
Having existed during the old ages when magic was primarily mnemonic, Shimare must've been quasi-immortal like the other ancient mages whom Invoker sourced his spells from.[4]
That is, assuming that Shimare is still alive today like Gallaron...
Magics[]
Like the Invoker, Shimare must have had the power to Invoke spells with the energies of Wex. Otherwise, Shimare would not be able to cast or even have this E.M.P. spell (which stands for Endoleon's Malevolent Perturbation[2][3] or Extractive Mana Pulse,[5] a.k.a. Shimare's Extractive Pulse[1] or Wex magnelectros[6]) which is invoked via Wex Trionis.[7]
As the spell's names suggest, this magic builds up a charge of electromagnetic energy that, once detonated, siphons the mana of those caught in the pulse to the caster.[8][9][10][11][12]

The detonation covers an area, draining mana based on the level of Wex. Deals damage for each point of mana drained. If E.M.P. drains mana from an enemy hero, Invoker gains 50% of the mana drained.
