Mechanics

• Spell Redirection sources have the MODIFIER_PROPERTY_REDIRECT_SPELL decorator.
• The mechanic causes the offensive unit-targeted ability and its effects on the intended enemy target to be shared with its allied unit. Upon proc, most of the shared abilities will ignore the cast range on the secondary target with its ability notes and restrictions applied.
  • When the conditions are met for the Spell Redirection proc, the unit-targeted ability will be simultaneously cast to both the primary and the secondary target visually regardless if the ability is projectile-based.
  • However, the ability is always first cast on the primary target.
    • Does not additionally proc on-cast effects.
• Redirected spells are still subject to Spell Block and Spell Reflection, but not other sources of Spell Redirection.
• 
  • Spell Redirection sources procs for both the primary and secondary target simultaneously for channeling abilities.
• 
  • Consume a single charge per ability cast per Spell Redirection source proc.
• The following sources do not proc Spell Redirection sources:
  • Active attack modifiers.
  • Creep ability casts.
    • Considers clones, illusions and the Spirit Bear as heroes; other creep-heroes as creeps.
• Certain redirected abilities that have different interactions when interacting with Spell Block and Spell Reflection sources are listed in their respective ability notes.
