you will be able to use items during black hole if your back is facing the hole and your front is facing enigma. not sure about skills. Items have been tested to work.

You can use any items in black hole. However while under the effects of black hole all the target units are rotated away from the center mark. This is to prevent the target units from using items on the casting unit, but they can still use items as long as they dont have to turn around.

edit: failed at remembering, yes abilities are disabled due to the silence but items are not.

[risingdemon]

the 2 quotes parts don't match

OT: you can purge a unit under SoS of Naga but it will continue to sleep.

Linken's Sphere doesn't have an active ability, therefore doesn't have a cooldown. The cooldown is triggered, and for the visuals, Linken's Sphere is replaced with a dummy Linken's Sphere that has an active which has a 20 second cooldown.

No. While a unit is under the effects of bladefury it is magic immune and thus can't be targeted by the stun. However if a unit is paused (like from impale) it will stop spinning, and thus loses it magic immunity, but will still have its triggered magic immunity for the full duration of bladefury.

you can force staff roof's sentinels

[EmilBulls]

You can split pudges hooks, vie location-changing spells, like vacuum, nether swap, recall etc,etc. if you manage to hook someone with your splitted hook he will be pulled to the location where you started the hook. if you dont believe look here, 8:20.

Got inspired by the current Fact of the day, so here goes:

You can escape Naga Sirens Ensnare by activating Ghost Scepter at any time after she has cast Ensare.

[Cainer]

You can Impale / Torrent invulnerable units, like Morphling in waveform or unit in Cyclone.
However, when unit is impaled / torrented in cyclone, the "buff timer" is paused and unit will be cycloned for a longer duration.

Multiple hoods do not stack; although different sources of magic reduction will.
Sources = skills Shamanics

Battlefuries stack, albit, they keep their own separate source (ie .35 and .35, not .7)

Quelling blade only works with feedback, other orb effects override the bonus damage

[Shamanics]

No multiple sources of magic reduction DO NOT STACK, only cases are skills that are learnt after the acquiring the last acquired item/aura that gives magic reduction. But since skills are re learnt after acquiring hood or pipe or planeswalker they stack. But AA Ice Vortex doesnt stack with hood and only last acquired works for example.

[Morbius]

Puck can blink out of chronosphere if he is phased at the time it is cast.

[Shamanics]

Hexed units have any hard-coded ability disabled.
