Unsettled Spirits (Part 1)
Io is everywhere, and in all things. Denounced by enemies as the great unmaker, worshiped by scholars as the twinkling of a divine eye, this strange Wisp of life-force occupies all planes at once, the merest fraction of its being crossing into physical existence at any one moment. Its motives inscrutable, its strength unimaginable, Io moves through the physical plane, the perfect expression of the mysteries of the universe.
Chess Pieces

Reworked. <Battlecry Ability: Activates before the battle starts> IO tethers with allies around, granting percentage damage reduction.
