Notes:
- ↓↓ Double-tapping automatically target self.
- Successive casts on the same target do not stack, but refresh the duration instead.
- The buff and debuff are independent and stack with each other, although the heal gets canceled as soon as the damage ticks.
- Both Urn of Shadows' and Spirit Vessel's heal and damage debuffs do not stack, with Spirit Vessel's modifers overriding both of Urn of Shadows' modifiers.
- When attempting to do so, Urn of Shadows goes on cooldown, without losing charges.
- Can regenerate up to 320 health over its full duration.
- Deals 35 + 4% of current health as damage in 1-second intervals, starting 1 second after cast, resulting in 8 damage instances.
- The flat damage is calculated first (after all reductions), followed by the current health as damage per second.
- Can deal a total of 280 + 27.86% of current health as damage to the targeted enemy (before reductions).
- Damage greater than 0 from any player (including allies, excluding self) or Roshan dispels the healing effect, but not the damage effect.
- Does not get dispelled by damage flagged as HP Removal.
- Applies heal reduction, health regen reduction, lifesteal reduction and spell lifesteal reduction on the target.
- Can only be cast on heroes (including illusions and clones) and creep-heroes.

- Does not gain charges if the dying hero has Reincarnation, is an illusion or the Tempest Double.
- Soul Release charges cannot be gathered by clones, illusions and creep-heroes.
- When having multiple Urn of Shadows and/or Spirit Vessels, the one in the higher inventory slot gains charges.
- The top left inventory slot has the highest priority, the bottom right one the lowest.
- Cannot gain charges while inside the backpack.
- When multiple heroes in a team have Urn of Shadows, the hero who is closest to the dying enemy hero gains charges.

Tips[]
Relationships between Total Damage and Target Initial HP.
- Offensively it can be used for two reasons - to damage heroes that have high health regeneration and decrease it. For example, it works well versus Alchemist and Morphling
- As it is long duration damage-over-time it can be a good counter against Blink Dagger-reliant initiators.
- When an enemy has Spirit Vessel it's better to have at least one dispel in your team. And if your allies have no dispels it would be a good idea to build Lotus Orb, Eul's Scepter of Divinity, Guardian Greaves, or Manta Style.
- Supports who has Urn of Shadows as a core item can consider upgrading it to Spirit Vessel for the bonus stats as it provides more sustainability and a stronger heal/damage for the team.
