A somewhat niche upgrade, it turns Majestic leap from a single jump into an arc that drags everything it comes into contact with. You cannot cancel it in mid air, but you have full turn control while in the air and are able to simply turn around. It does not allow you to cast abilities until you land, so you can't cancel it to use it as a makeshift majestic leap as Lash. It does heavy melee damage in its landing area. It gives 50% weapon damage to the impact, similar to how Point Blank would apply. It retains the barrier and the cooldown on damage from Majestic Leap. The impact does not proc melee items.
The idea is basically just an initiation item for melee characters that's focused on long range teamfight initiations, compared to Blink Stone and Phantom Strike which are more short range solo pickoff tools, while maintaining the ability to get flyers out of the sky that the other two bring. Mainly came to me because I was playing punch sinclair and I was running into an issue where phantom strike is incredibly unreliable when it comes to dropping flyers out of the sky into Bunny Hex, and Sinclair is also one of the characters that really enjoys Majestic Leap, so combining the two would be really fun for squishy melee characters likes him who don't build gun items. And then obviously I balanced it around not buffing Lash's best initiation item.
