'''Imbued items''' are [[items]] whose effect is only applied to one ability, chosen by the player or pre-selected by the player's item build.
[[Imbue|Imbuement]] is a term for when an [[Item]] requires the player to choose a specific ability of the hero they are playing. Typically the item will enhance only that ability, or provide a greater boost of [[Stats]] for that ability compared to the others.


== Overview ==
Items refer to the selected ability as the [[Imbue|Imbued Ability]]. Abilities not imbued by an item are referred to as [[Imbue|Non-Imbued Abilities]].
Once an item has been imbued, the player can only change the imbued ability by selling the item and buying it again.


The player can imbue items even in abilities that don't trigger the item's effect.
Ability imbuements are item-specific - imbuing two separate abilities using, for example, {{ItemIcon|Compress Cooldown}} and {{ItemIcon|Quicksilver Reload}}, will not grant both abilities the effect of both items. However, one ability can be imbued by multiple sources.
 
Most items cannot be imbued on passive abilities, the only exceptions being {{ItemIcon|Mystic Expansion}} and {{ItemIcon|Duration Extender}}.
 
== Notable interactions ==
* If {{HeroIcon|Silver}} imbues one of her non-ultimate abilities, it imbues both versions of the ability in human and werewolf form.
