Vindicta example removed for the same reasons as on Tankbuster.

** While the tooltip only specifies 'Abilities', only Spirit Damage will activate Mystic Burst. Abilities dealing weapon damage - such as {{HeroIcon|Venator}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Consecrating Grenade}} or {{HeroIcon|Viscous}}' {{AbilityIcon|Puddle Punch}} - will not activate Mystic Burst.

* The additional damage, and the ability which triggered the additional damage, are applied to the target as separate instances of damage. The additional damage from Mystic Burst is dealt after the original spell damage. This has implications for abilities or effects that rely on single instances of damage, for example:

** {{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.
