Your W idea is quite nice but I think such auras fit a Diablo Paladin better, don't you think? Prophecy sounds like a pretty crazy abiltiy, I like it a lot and it is creative indeed.

Indeed. I like the concept of the tomes, too. Also his passive seems interesting. But dont like "Asheara's call"; Summonspells are more for Specialists, not supporters. Also a random follower? Randomness damage this game in my opinion.
Some changes in this concept and i will give you a positive response.

I thought that Cain should not be doing damage while on combat, as you can see his base kit offers no damage to heroes.
I supposed that some players may want a bit of damage to compensate for uncorditaned teams on QM, all followers are supossed to have the same dps.
Another concept for that heroic, was to summon a random (non present) hero of the game (except cho'gall) to help him, but that was too exagerated and out-fantasy.
Anyway, I agree with you that summoning is not usually a support thing and I may rethink that heroic.
Thank you and yoru for your feedback ^^
