  • 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 icon Spirit Vessel's heal and damage debuffs do not stack, with Spirit Vessel's modifiers 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 240 health over its full duration.
  • Deals 25 damage in 1-second intervals, starting 1 second after cast, resulting in 8 damage instances.
  • Damage greater than 0 from any player (including allies, excluding self) or Roshan icon Roshan dispels the healing effect, but not the damaging effect.
    • Does not get dispelled by damage flagged as HP Removal.
  • Grants 1 charge on death if the wielder dies with having no charges.
  • When no charges are left, Soul Release gains 2 charges from the next enemy hero's death instead of 1.
    • Does not gain charges if the dying hero has Reincarnation, is an illusion, or the Tempest Double minimap icon Tempest Double.
    • Soul Release charges cannot be gathered by clones, illusions, and creep-heroes.
  • When multiple heroes in a team have Urn of Shadows, the hero who is closest to the dying enemy hero gains charges.
  • 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.
    • Shares cooldown with Spirit Vessel icon Spirit Vessel.
    • All current charges are carried over when upgrading Urn of Shadows-based items.
