Soul Preservation

[NoobMapmaker]

I have a question about the skill Soul Preservation. Does it have any other effects other than remove a unit from the game? Im not quite sure what it does exactly.

Wasn't it from campaign, where Mal'Ganis teleports the souls away to use later, which never happens because Arthas defeats him. As for the spell, I think it's pretty much useless - it only works on zombies or something. No real function outside that map.

It can be useful because you can set which unit type it can affect. And, it has cool fading effect.

Lol. i tried to make a pokemon map ever since i discovered this spell.
I thought of it as a "Pokeball" spell haha

But how to do recall the unit back into the game? Or do you have to make a trigger that creates a new unit?

I don't think the spell does anything else other than removing a unit. In the campaign, they most likely used an integer variable that increased every time Mal'Ganis used the spell, running afterwards another trigger that checked if the variable had reached the value of 100. If yes, you would lose.

I don't know if the Obsidian Destroyer hero's "Astral Imprisonment" in DOTA is based on this, or if it's totally triggered. But it removes units from the game for 4 seconds. So it's possible to have this effect somehow.
