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.

Overview

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.

Most items cannot be imbued on passive abilities, the only exceptions being Mystic Expansion and Duration Extender.

Notable interactions

If Silver imbues one of her non-ultimate abilities, it imbues both versions of the ability in human and werewolf form.
