World Ender
Once, duration: 1 minute
Upon activation, any creature within 10ft makes a DC 22 Wisdom saving throw or becomes frightened for the duration. For the duration, flames engulf Aatrox and cause any creature that ends it's turn within 5ft of Aatrox to take 1d12+4 1d12+4 fire damage. Aatrox heals for any damage dealt in this way.   Resurrection
Once
If Aatrox drops to 0 hit points while World Ender is active, he is put into a stasis from which he is immune to all effects for 3 rounds. After this time he is resurrected at 75 hp and the duration for World Ender is recast and the duration starts again.   Temptation
If Aatrox deals damage to a target up to 10ft away from him, he may force you to make a DC 16 Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target is pulled 10ft towards Aatrox. This ability can be used while Aatrox is in the air, allowing him to pull targets off the ground, resulting in them taking an additional 1d6 1d6 bludgeoning damage from the fall. Temptation works in combination with The Darkin Blade and Umbral Dash.

Aatrox, The Darkin Blade Once honored defenders of Shurima against the Void, Aatrox and his brethren would eventually become an even greater threat to Runeterra, and were defeated only by cunning mortal sorcery. A force greater than a thousand dead suns pulled him inside the sword he had carried into battle countless times, and forever bound his immortal essence to it. The weapon was a prison, sealing his consciousness in suffocating, eternal darkness, robbing him even of the ability to die. For centuries, he strained against this hellish confinement... until some nameless mortal was foolish enough to try and wield the blade once more. Aatrox seized upon this opportunity, forcing his will and an imitation of his original form onto his bearer, though the process quickly drained all life from the new body. In the years that followed, Aatrox groomed many more hosts—men and women of exceptional vitality or fortitude. Though his grasp of such magics had been limited in life, he learned to take control of a mortal in the span of single breath, and in battle he discovered he could feast on his victims to build himself ever larger and stronger.   Aatrox is trapped inside his Darkin Weapon and can communicate with anyone touching it. He is only able to free himself when he has tricked a creature to wield his blade and feed him 100 souls, or if they gain 50 temporary hit points at one time through the Blood Well Table. Once released, Aatrox takes control of the body of the wielder turning it into a form that looks much like himself. The creature's consciousness then becomes trapped where Aatrox used to be, inside of the blade. Aatrox will then attempt to kill the rest of the party. While trapped inside, the wielder can impart their will upon the blade 3 times to cause it to automatically miss and can impose disadvantage 5 times. If Aatrox is killed he is forced back into the blade and everything resets, the creature regains their body, but it's new appearance remains the same. Forever, they are forced to resemble Aatrox or untill remove curse is cast on them.  

The blood is pumping fiercely through your veins now, and in that moment, you expect to feel the power course though them as you have many times before... But this time is different, there is power, but not yours. Your shoulder is pulled, you turn around, there is no one there. You feel the pull again, this time all around you, stronger and stronger. Your vision tunnels, you fight but the force is too much for any mortal to stop. You see yourself now, but from outside. Your appearance is an amalgamation of what it once was. A red and glowing chest with all the fires of hell, great horns that glint in the light. Your head turns to stare you down, you speak, not with your own voice but with the voice you have become so familiar with by now. The voice of Aatrox. "You have done my bidding well. Now, hear the silence of annihilation!
