3. Draft
   Newsiek writes short stories, storing energy in them
   Charge-based ability
   Each charge: 10s to restore
   Sequential charging: until the 1st charge is restored and used - the 2nd does not recharge
   To “charge” a charge, you need to hold the ability button + LMB so Newsiek writes an article
   After writing: you throw a newspaper
   On hit, the newspaper creates an AOE with a radius like Rem’s cushion
   Instead of knockback: causes news audio spam (cannot be turned off or reduced in settings), mutes voice chat and removes the ability to speak in voice
   2 seconds of charging the ability = 1 second of effect duration
   The longer the news was written -> the longer the effect lasts
   Type: AOE effect

   Any ally can pick up the letter by stepping on it
   Buff: 2x speed until reaching the destination and 10s after arrival (scales with Spirit)
   After arriving at the location: for each invited player Newsiek gains an ability -
   When pinging an enemy, they are marked with a special effect for allies for 6s
