	[[~~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~~.		'''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.

	~~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]]~~.		== Overview ==
			Once an item has been imbued, the player can only change the imbued ability by selling the item and buying it again.

	~~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~~.		The player can imbue items even in abilities that don't trigger the item's effect.

			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.
