Notes:

Applies a basic dispel on the target upon cast.
- ↓↓ Double-tapping automatically target self.

Silences, mutes, and disarms the target for the duration.

During Shadows, the target is phased and attack immune.
- The target is still selectable, however, targeted orders get canceled immediately once coming within range.
- The target cannot target themselves with most of their own items either.
- They can target themselves with Glimmer Cape, Healing Salve, Moon Shard, Royal Jelly and Shadow Amulet.
- Does not prevent Spell Reflection from reflecting spells back at them.

Almost every spell treats the target as if they were invisible. Spells which do not treat them as invisible are:
- Heat-Seeking Missile, Concussive Shot, Wrath of Nature, Omnislash, Mana Drain, Exorcism, and Thundergod's Wrath.
- Unlike with invisibility, Beetles, Phantoms and Undying Zombies do not instanly die when Shadows is cast on the target.
