Faegate took me a while to understand, can you try and make it clearer?

I don't profess to be super informed about champion creation, but I think each individual part of your kit is too strong.

Passive completely negates a spell's damage if you wait 6 seconds.

Q is kind of basic. It does damage. Done. Basic abilties are fine though.

Hum's damage reduction is overwhelming. Of course it only lasts 2 seconds but even in a burst combo that lasts five seconds, you are reducing their damage for 40% of their combo. Add in that it's AoE and with proper positioning you can hit lots of people. It's also only 30% reduction yes, but if the enemy is doing 30% less damage than you that's still a huge advantage.

Cross Dimensional is pretty much a Vlad pool. Not pretty much. Too much.

You said you wanted to make a sustain based mid-laner, but as you said the kit is chaotic. What your champion needs is an underlying theme. In your abilties, you have portals, sound based attacks, glade magic. Is your theme sort of a Glade Portal champion? Try to focus it down.

There are some good things in your kit though, it's not all bad. With work, you could make something nice from this. If you are going for sustain, try to emphasise the sustain portion at the cost of damage. Maybe also provide sustain for your team as well, maybe a Sion-esque heal.

I like Hum of Despair, it's just damage reduction is a bit strong. Try to think of other effects that go along with the despair part.

Cross Dimensional also has potential. The idea of travelling between dimensions is a good one.

Faegate really seems like the type of ability that would separate the good players from the bad. A good ult would win you teamfights by letting you send all sorts of things to it. A bad one would allow enemies to do the same. The concept is really cool.
