  • +70 Magic Power
  • +10% Cooldown Reduction
  • Unique passive – Butterfly: For every 800 magic damage dealt to an enemy hero (calculated before damage reduction), a Butterfly Goddess is summoned to attack the enemy hero, dealing magic damage equal to 10% of their current HP.

While the Wishing Lantern is strong for all mage heroes, it is especially effective for those with channeling abilities or multiple damage sources.
