Life Savior:
First, thank you for adding a 3rd heal spell it is really needed. However, I think 60 seconds is way too long. I'd rather see this cut down to 30s CD with 20% to 40% heal. I can tell you want this new spell to only be used in emergencies, but I think 30s is enough to prevent spamming while still allowing it to be useful.

Heal Ally:
My initial reaction to this was "ugh... not again" until I realized you halved the CD but the % wasn't halved. Now you can actually heal someone for 24% in the same time as the old 20% heal ally. Good move here. I think mana cost could be reduced a bit more as right now it seems 2 of these is equal to 1 Live Servers heal ally, but costs 50 mana more and heals on the Live servers are already mana hogs.

Mass Resurrection:
This spell literally sounds like a waste of 800 mana. First, you basically have to have it on 5 otherwise the chance is way too low. 5% on level 1??? What is the point in this??? Second, you're paying 800 mana for a 50:50 shot at resurrecting someone (is it all or nothing? or is it 50% for each person?). Maybe you could ensure that at least 1 person is resurrected and its 50% per remaining person. Or you could only charge mana based on each person that its successful on. For example if it works on 2 people you'd only remove 400 mana.

Major Healing:
Good move, thanks

Overall I'm fairly happy with this stage. Keep up the good work, I'm really looking forward to the mana tweak stage.

The new Imps models are funny

But after a few seconds of trying it out
(maybe/probably this is discussed in the stage 10 thread, but I didn't really follow that one. if so, sorry):
The zombies and lich are moving towards/attacking the target while the animation of them comming out of the ground is still ongoing.
The imp(5) dies after 1 attack.
The monsters do one extra attack after they defeat a summon.
