Spell damage and mana pool — the harder you cast, the more it pays.

How to actually use it

  1. 1

    It multiplies spell damage

    WhyIt is a multiplier, not a flat bonus. The more you cast, the more it pays.

    HowOnly meaningful on heroes whose damage is spells.

  2. 2

    It is a component, not a destination

    WhyIt builds into Ethereal Blade or Wind Waker.

    HowStopping at Kaya wastes half its value.

  3. 3

    It gives mana too

    WhyA bigger pool means one more rotation.

    HowDo not treat it as pure damage — it is sustain as well.

When it is the right call

✓Yes, if…
  • Your damage mostly comes from spells.
  • You are heading to Ethereal Blade or Wind Waker.
  • You want a bigger mana pool.
✕No, if…
  • You are a physical core — it does almost nothing for you.
  • Your spells are utility, not damage.
  • What you need is survival.

Timing

Usually 18–25 minutes, as a caster's second item.
