Djinn's Mark is considered a damage-over-time ability. Thus, the damage won't knock a hero off a zipline, and it cannot be blocked by Counterspell.
The damage scales with Mirage's Spirit Power at the moment the marks trigger, not when each stack was applied. Temporary Spirit Power changes (e.g. Infuser or Focus Lens) therefore affect all currently active stacks.
Neither "Deflection" nor "On-Hit Prevention" on Plated Armor protect against Djinn's Mark.

Item Draft
In Street Brawl, every hero draws items from a shared pool, but some items are weighted to appear more often for a given hero and others less often. For each tier below, that tier's items are grouped by how likely they are to be offered to Mirage: High, Average, or Low chance.
The Djinn are one of the more curious groups of people in the modern world. Possessing great power in controlled doses, Djinn are incapable of maintaining corporeal form for longer than 48 minutes without resting within a vessel. As a result, most Djinn employ human bodyguards for transport, protection, and companionship.
Mirage is one such bodyguard. Employed by Djinn ambassador Nashala Dion, Mirage is in New York on a diplomatic mission. It's the hope of the Djinn that they can negotiate with the US government for a sale of part of Wyoming so that they can build a sovereign nation for their people.
Mirage became known in the player community for his screaming voice lines at release (the frequency of which was later reduced according to patch notes),[2] as well as his unused "Akira laser" screams. This has been acknowledged by developer Kaori, who joked that Mirage's voice actor Fareed Ward could be easily identified by his screams,[3] and referenced in voice lines by Mina, Silver and Vyper.[4][5][6]
Nashala has an unused human-sized model in the game files.
Mirage carries Nashala in the bottle in his hand. In his previous model, it used to be attached to his chest.
Mirage's first official model wasn't shipped in the game files until he was officially released. However, the model was leaked a couple weeks earlier by an updated portrait art.
Mirage's pre-release model was based on Paradox's model with a modified McGinnis head.
"Dreaming of Wyoming in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Mirage in the Hideout.
