Aghanim's Scepter: March of the Machines applies a non-stacking heal over time when passing through allied heroes.

Deploy Turrets

Deploys 3 uncontrollable turrets at the target location. Enemies hit by the impact take damage and are pushed away from the landing point. If Tinker is hit, he also gets pushed by the impact. Once deployed, the turret fires missiles in the direction of the nearest enemy hero.

Biography

Boush the Tinker's diminutive race is known for its intelligence, its cunning, and its prickly relationship with magic. As a matter of pride, they survive by their wits, and use only those powers of nature that may be unlocked through rational methodologies. Even this forbearance has led to a great deal of trouble, as Boush can attest. Once a key investigator of natural law, Boush the Tinker led a vast intellectual investigation into the workings of nature, founding a subterranean laboratory in the rumored, mist-wreathed wastes of the Violet Plateau. While scorning mages for the dangers they visit upon the world, Boush and his Tinker associates haughtily wrenched open a portal to some realm beyond comprehension and ushered in some nightmares of their own. A black mist rose from the cavernous interior of the Violet Plateau, shrouding it in permanent darkness from which sounds of horror perpetually emanate. Boush escaped with only his wits and the contraptions he carried, the sole Tinker to survive the Violet Plateau Incident.
