As already stated, this concept has too much going on. It does not feel like there is a "theme" to it, just a lot of effects that all end up in an overloaded kit. Look:
1) AoE Basic Attacks with great range and damage.
2) Two unique resources.
3) Five passive effects.
4) Baseline cooldown reduction.
5) Global teleport.
You can cut this kit in half and it will still have too many mechanics.
Also, how does a "5x5 square" look? Is it supposed to be like Deckard's Horadric Cube?

I think there is too much text, every ability does too much things... Maybe simplify a little to make it more comfortable to read?
