Fantasy Literature

In Dota 2, Dirge (Undying), Invoker, and Nerubian Assassin (Nyx Assassin) are heroes who can summon units through their abilities. Dirge summons zombies, Invoker creates Forge Spirits, and Nyx Assassin uses Burrow to summon beetles. Phantom Lancer creates illusions but does not summon separate units.

Luna (Moon glaives aura increases attack damage), Drow Ranger (Precision aura), and Vengeful Spirit (Vengeance aura) all have skill auras that increase allies' damage output. Lycan's wolves and Ancient Apparition's abilities do not provide direct damage bonuses to allies.

Axe (Counter Helix), Centaur (Return), and Tiny all have damage return abilities that hurt attackers when they hit these heroes. Axe reflects damage with Counter Helix, Centaur with Return, and Tiny with his passive. Clockwerk's Battery Assault does not return damage.

In Dota, heroes with global cast abilities can affect targets anywhere on the map. Furion (Nature's Prophet) has Teleportation, Clockwerk has Rocket Flare, Ancient Apparition has Ice Blast, and Invoker can create global effects with Sun Strike. These are well-known global abilities in the game.

In Dota, several heroes have innate abilities to create illusions or images without needing Manta Style. Phantom Lancer creates illusions through Juxtapose and Spirit Lance, Terrorblade through Conjure Image, Slithice (Naga Siren) through Mirror Image, Chaos Knight through Reality Rift, and Shadow Demon can create illusions with Disruption. All these heroes have image creation as part of their skill sets.

In Dota, NaiX (Lifestealer) can provide lifesteal to allies through Infest (when inside an ally, attacks transfer lifesteal) and his Open Wounds ability grants allies lifesteal on attacks against the target. Leoric (Skeleton King) provides lifesteal to allies through his Vampiric Aura skill. Broodmother and Sand King do not have ally lifesteal capabilities.

In Dota, orb effects are special attack modifiers. Ursa has Fury Swipes (stacking damage), Drow Ranger has Frost Arrows (slow), and Obsidian Destroyer has Arcane Orb (mana burn) as their built-in orb effects. Bounty Hunter does not have a built-in orb effect - his abilities track and execute targets but don't modify his basic attacks.

In Dota 2, Medusa (Stone Gaze), Shadow Demon (Demonic Purge), and Razor (Plasma Field purge effect in some versions) have innate purge abilities that remove buffs or deal damage to summoned units. Storm Spirit has no purge ability - his kit focuses on mobility and burst damage.

Viper (Nethertoxin corrosive skin passive), Anti-Mage (Spell Shield passive), and Phantom Lancer (in some versions through his illusion mechanics) have passive abilities that grant bonus magic resistance. Tauren Chieftain (now Elder Titan) has no passive magic resistance ability.

Pit Lord (also known as Abyssal Underlord) is a hero in DotA who possesses four area-of-effect (AOE) spells: Pit of Malice, Firestorm, Atrophy Aura, and Rain of Chaos. This makes him unique among the options as having exclusively AOE abilities. The other heroes listed have mixed ability types rather than all AOE.

Xenophilius Lovegood (Luna's father) wore the Deathly Hallows symbol - the necklace with the triangle, circle, and line - to Bill and Fleur's wedding. He was trying to spread information about the Hallows to recruit support. Victor Krum found the symbol offensive as it was associated with Grindelwald who had terrorized his country.

Severus Snape's Patronus was a silver doe, the same as Lily Potter's. This revealed his enduring love for Lily and was the key to Harry finding the Sword of Gryffindor in the Forest of Dean. Harry initially thought it might be his father James's Patronus (a stag), but later learned the truth about Snape's loyalty.

RAB stood for Regulus Arcturus Black, Sirius Black's younger brother. The 'A' stands for Arcturus, not Auror, Arthur, or Argus. Regulus stole the locket Horcrux from the cave and died, leaving the note signed RAB. Kreacher later revealed the truth to Harry.

Dumbledore cannot speak Parseltongue. This rare ability was accidentally transferred to Harry when Voldemort attempted to kill him as a baby. Lord Voldemort was a Parselmouth who could communicate with snakes, and Morfin Gaunt (likely misspelled as 'Morvalo Grant') was also a Parselmouth from Slytherin's bloodline.

Severus Snape never lived in Godric's Hollow. The Potters (James and Lily) lived there and were killed by Voldemort. Kendra Dumbledore died there (the Dumbledore family lived there after Percival's imprisonment). Ignotus Peverell is buried in Godric's Hollow (he was one of the three Peverell brothers). Snape lived in Spinner's End and later at Hogwarts.
