Trying to resist the Shadow Demon's corruption is mostly a useless endeavor.

Notes:

• This ability got reworked into the current Soul Catcher in the 7.20 gameplay patch.

• Upon cast, a random enemy unit within the targeted area receives a debuff, which causes them to take increased damage.
  • There are no unit priorities. A unit is selected completely random.

• Can place the debuff on invisible units, and on units under the effect of the most recent Disruption cast by Shadow Demon.

• Fully ignores other invulnerable units, ancient creeps, Roshan and creep-heroes.

• Amplifies all 3 damage types, including self-inflicted damage and damage dealt by allies.

• Successive casts on the same target do not stack, but refresh the duration.

• When the level 10 talent is chosen, creates an illusion of the caught enemy when it dies with the debuff.
  • The illusion does not have a set duration upon spawning. It disappears once the hero respawns, or when killed.
  • The illusion is not created when the enemy has Reincarnation.
