¹ The instantly killing effect of these spells also triggers Spell Lifesteal, healing based on the killed unit's remaining health.

² Despite these spells using separate units to apply their effects, the damage sources of those are set on the caster, so Spell Lifesteal procs and heals.

³ The rum wear-off health loss does not proc Spell Lifesteal.

⁴ Does not lifesteal off of the area health cost. Only steals life when targeting an enemy to damage it.
