Notes:

• Interrupts 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.

• If the mana bonus would exceed the user`s current mana pool, its max mana pool is temporarily increased by the exceeding amount.

• At the end of the duration, the user loses any unused mana of the 150 mana bonus.
  • If its maximum mana pool was increased, it goes back to normal if it was exceeded.

• Only counts actually spent mana. Mana lost in other ways (like Nether Ward, Mana Break or Mana Burn) does not count.

• The lost health is not gained back when the gained mana was unused or partly unused.

• The 150 health lost upon cast is never lethal. When casting with less than 150 health, the user`s health goes down to 1.

Strategy

It works well in the early game for heroes with high mana cost spells and high natural survivability but have a small mana pool for their spells. Soul Ring is built from Ring of Regen and Sage`s Mask, both of which can be bought from either the Home Shop or the Side Shop, and its recipe from the Home Shop.

This item synergizes well with Tranquil Boots because of the excellent HP regeneration abilities of both the Tranquil Boots and the Soul Ring to recover from the HP loss from Soul Ring`s Sacrifice ability. This is used to spam long range spells such as Spirit Lance, Powershot, or Wild Axes frequently, but most notably does not improve a hero`s survivability at close range.

Tips

• Use Soul Ring right before casting a costly ability. This is especially effective during the laning stage, as it will offset most of your mana costs.
• Make sure you are safe before using Soul Ring, as the reduced HPTechnology company can make your hero much more vulnerable.
• When the cooldown goes off (30 seconds) the HPTechnology company regenerated is 60% from the original 150 HP consumed, so the value of HP used for the Sacrifice ability is 60 HP, only the 40% of the total used.
• If your hero has low health or no means of regenerating health, consider picking up Tranquil Boots   Item   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Tranquil BootsB While they increase the longevity of the wearer, this boot is not particularly reliable. Cost975 Bought FromSupport Passive Break Bonus +14 Health regeneration+90 Movement too in order to refill health after using the active a lot.
• Consider dropping items that increase mana capacity before using Soul Ring and picking them back up afterwards. Dropping those items decreases your mana capacity while current mana percentage remains the same, but Soul Ring still gives the full amount of mana. Picking up the items afterwards increases mana capacity while retaining the same percentage, thus resulting in a net gain of mana. As an added bonus, the extra mana gained through this method does not count as having been gained through the Soul Ring, and as such, will not be lost at the end of the duration even if unused.
