NOTES

* When a hero has an upgrade available, the item's and the upgraded ability's tooltip state what exactly is upgraded.

* A hero may only consume Aghanim's Shard once.
	+ Once consumed the item remains factored into the hero's net worth (**+1400** ) and **Gold**  per minute.
	+ The item is instantly consumed when there is an item slot available in the main inventory or in the backpack, if the hero does not have Aghanim's Shard previously.

* Unit-targeted abilities with Aghanim's Shard upgrades that are reflected by Spell Reflection depend on whether the reflecting hero has Aghanim's Shard, not the original caster of the reflected ability.
