Added mention that only spirit damage will activate mystic burst. The tooltip only specifies abilities. While this is likely an error in the tooltip. It is worth mentioning this error. Additionally added some hero / ability formatting. |

** Vindicta uses | ** {{HeroIcon|Vindicta}} uses {{AbilityIcon|Assassinate}} on an enemy {{HeroIcon|Warden}}. The baseline spirit damage from Assassinate on its own is not enough damage to kill the Warden, but the increased damage (due to the additional damage from triggering Mystic Burst is enough to secure the kill. Since the additional damage from triggering Mystic Burst is applied after the Assassinate, it is technically the item's damage which secures the kill, not the Assassinate. Thus, Vindicta will not receive bonus weapon damage from Assassinate's passive. | ||
