I quite like 1 and 2, a couple notes:

If the extra pulse damage is for every time your wave hits them, the damage is quite high to start. If they only send off that pulse once no.matter how many waves hit them, I think the damage is good.

2. This should probably be the 3 and the movement ability that is the 3 should be made into the 2, because it's standard for movement abilities to be in the 2 slot.
That said, I would reduce the movement speed a lot, to like 5m/s. The cool think about this ability is as a shield that blocks targeting effects from enemies on the other side of you. It should be easy to stay behind and stick around.

1. you can slow and redirect the 2 with your 3 and items like vortex web and rescue beam due to the way it is worded. one funny interaction is the 1 also triggers the echo slam on the 2 projectile since you can target it for abilities and bodyblock also means it can be redirected an additional time with 3 and semi counter intuitively can be used to feed your own spirit power to your ultimate

2. swing is a 3 because it is your primary damage tool and sets up your other abilities, getting enemies very far out of position or just going crazy fast (at say 200 spirit power endgame you can go up to 28m/s) around corners to burst people in enclosed spaces is your real damage tool. its not a full stun either as enemies can still use abilities or jump and dash to break the forced movement.

its set up so theres a secret combo where you can hold the spirit heart from 2 in place by catching it with 3 during ultimate to feed it your spirit power and using charges lets you keep it range - paying the price and getting a big reward

the 2 essentially is like having one of those running training dummies on the map briefly and can be targeted as both an ally or enemy hero. you can even use knockdown on 2 to keep it in place and deny an area, or scourge for a damage over time factor, or use phantom strike on it to escape

I want to note this character would be horrible to lane as. -15% resist and you have no health and you have basically no regen? I get some of the abilities gives a lot of health on AP but that's an AP tax and as it stands rn the pocket you're laning against kills you instantly once they reach 1.6k souls and any poke hero will safely have you dead by 3 mins.
