Spell lifesteal

Spell lifesteal allows the hero to heal from spell damage they deal. Just like attack damage lifesteal, spell lifesteal is calculated by a percentage of the actual damage done to units. However, unlike attack damage lifesteal, it does not heal for overkill damage dealt to a unit, so if a spell's damage exceeded the target's current health and killed it, the heal is based on the target's remaining health.

Sources of Spell Lifesteal
Multiple instances of Spell Lifesteal from the same source, such as multiple Bloodstones, do not stack. However, Spell Lifesteal from different sources, including different items, stacks additively. Spell lifesteal to creeps are usually $$\tfrac{1}{5}$$ or 20% of the value to heroes.
