Can cast certain abilities while channeling another ability

So I noticed that a unit can activate (and deactivate) the Mana Shield ability while channeling a spell (Moonson in this case) without stopping the channel.
It got me curious, what other spells can be cast while channeling another spell without breaking the channel?

So I did some quick testing and you were spot on.
One more spell that doesn't seem to stop channeling is the footmen's Defend.

I also found out that Bladestorm can actually damage the caster, which I think is pretty cool if you wanna have some crazy hero that spins around, dealing damage to both enemies and himself

One question I must ask: why can't I deactivate Avatar when I change the gameplay constant to True (can deactivate Avatar - True)?
It works with divine shield.
And I guess 1 extra question: what is "Avenger Form" (can deactivate Avenger Form - True/False)?

I'm very curious
:D

Probably cut/leftover features of the Warden, which might've been able to metamorph into the Avatar of Vengeance herself.
Btw, immolation also doesn't break channel.
Oh, how did I not think of that! The immolation thingy could actually have its uses.

Also about the avatar of vengeance... you just gave me an idea for when I eventually rework Terror of the Tides :smile:
