Ultimate Ability

Rearm [Keybind: R]

Ability	Affects
Channeled	Self

CHANNELED - Resets the cooldown on most of Tinker's items and abilities.

Channeling Time: 3/2/1
Cooldown: 0 seconds
Mana Cost: 150/250/350

Lore: A new battery here, another set of rockets there, Boush continually improves on existing technology.

Rearm works on all items except: Black King Bar, Arcane Boots, Helm of the Dominator, Hand of Midas, Refresher Orb, Linken's Sphere, Bottle and Necronomicon.
Manta Style will refresh, however the old illusions will disappear when it is reused.
Since this spell is channeled, activating it will use mana but will not refresh abilities until it finishes casting. Interrupting Rearm (making another action, getting stunned/hexed/silenced/etc) during its channeling will waste mana and not refresh Tinker's abilities.
