Knights of the Fold possess a fanatical form of magic that is considered quite unwieldy by most other users of arcane arts.

Notes:

  • In the 6.72 gameplay patch, the teleport aspect of this spell was moved to Holy Persuasion.
  • In the 6.75 gameplay patch, the teleport aspect was separated from Holy Persuasion and turned into a 5th ability, which levels together with Test of Faith.
  • Allied non-hero units and lane creeps can be teleported as well, but like allied heroes, they are not teleported instantly.
  • When targeting own units, they are teleported instantly.
