Notes:

• Does not interrupt the user`s channeling Warlock channeling Upheaval Channeling an ability causes the caster to stop acting for the duration of the spell. Channeled spells may be ended when the channeling unit takes another action or is interrupted by another spells upon cast, neither when cast on self, nor when cast on allies.

• If the target is more than 1050 range away, the caster moves to the target until it is within 800 range before casting.

• When casting on allies, the user does not have to face the targeted ally to cast it. Does not interrupt the target`s channeling spells.

• Places a buff on an allied hero. As long as this buff stays on it, the hero keeps on turning invisible.

• The fade time is reset and invisibility is lost upon reaching the cast point of spells or items or upon performing an attack.

• While invisible Invisibility is a status effect which makes units and heroes not appear on their opponent s screen or minimap, and makes them unable to be targeted directly by the enemy. Invisibility makes the unit s model appear , the unit can pick up or drop items without having to go through the fade time again.

• While invisible, the unit is phased, meaning other units can walk through it without getting blocked.

• The magic resistance Magic resistance is an attribute of heroes, similar to armor. Instead of reducing physical damage, it reduces magical damage. All heroes, except for Meepo and Visage, possess 25% magic resistance from their armor type. This is only applied when fully invisible. It is not applied during the fade time.

• Increases most heroes` total magic resistance to 58.75%, assuming basic 25% magic resistance and no other sources of magic resistance.
