Dulcifying Enchantment, T4 spirit item that lets you turn carries into supports

[technicalwaffle]

I've wanted to turn carries into supports for a while now, and although that sounds like a balancing nightmare for the devs it's hopefully no harm to just toss an idea out there of what an item like that could look like. This item allows you to completely turn some heroes on their head and build them full support while still allowing them to retain some damage threat either through their gun or other abilities.

The balancing levers here are the percentage nerf to the actual healing done keeping the item's output in check overall and the NEGATIVE spirit power granted to the imbued ability to stop AOE's from becoming way too effective at still doing their original job. Of course, number can be tuned.

Some additional details/clarification:
You cannot imbue targeted abilities (to avoid weird edge cases like Mo&Krill that apply CC along with damage)
Items like Mystic Reverb still only damage enemies, and proc as if you dealt 100% damage to your target.

This is a great concept. I think the game should have some items, that capable of changing your hero's innate role/playstyle. About targeted abilities. Maybe item could apply inverted effects or temporary immunity to them?
