Item Disassembling

Disassembly is an action that can be performed on certain items.

Items can't be disassembled while disable.
Items can be disassembled while the player is dead.
Items can be disassembled from the stash.
Disassembling items is considered instant cast.
Disassembling tries to fill your inventory or backpack first before dropping to the ground.
Disassembling items auto-locks them from combining with other items. Use right click to unlock.
Disassembling an item will only split it into the items used to create it; for example, if a Sange and Yasha is disassembled it will not disassemble the resultant Sange or Yasha any further.
All items, except for Divine Rapier, Hand of Midas and Observer and Sentry Wards, can be disassembled within 10 seconds after they are combined. Only a few items can be disassembled at any time.
- The timer expires instantly if:

The item's active ability is used (including toggles like Armlet of Mordiggian).
The item's passive ability's cooldown starts.
- For example, Skull Basher cannot be sold at full price as soon as Bash procs, but the same doesn't apply to Daedalus since its passive has no cooldown.
- For example, Blink Dagger cannot be sold at full price as soon as 3 sec cooldown from getting damage triggers. If after taking damage within 3 seconds you get a blink dagger in the active slot, it will immediately go into a 3 second cd.
- Some of the abilities unaffected by cooldown manipulation use a custom cooldown system (for example Bash), which doesn't affect the timer.
The item enters the inventory of a unit not controlled by the owner.
The carrier of the item dies.
- Items that result from disassembling an item do not have this grace period.
