Summary:
Medusa's Mystic Snake does not steal mana from illusions. In the past it did. I'm not sure if it actually caused the Illusion to have missing mana, but I'm sure it would return mana to Medusa by hitting illusions. This hurts medusa a lot against one of her main counters - illusion based mana burner heroes such as AntiMage, Naga Siren, Phantom Lancer, Spectre...
Reproduction Steps:
1. Enter a lobby game as Medusa. level up Medusa to get mystic snake. (I tried with maxed Mystic Snake)
2. Create an enemy hero (I tried with Lina) (-createhero lina enemy)
3. give bots Manta Style (-givebots item_manta)
4. activate manta on Lina
5. separate one of the illusions from the original Lina for easier checking of results (so the snake will only hit 1 illusion)
6. cast Mystic Snake on the separated illusion
7. wait for the snake to return to Medusa
Result:
No mana is missing from the illusion and Medusa doesn't replenish mana from the returned snake.
Expected Result:
The illusion should lose 20% of its max mana and the returning snake should replenish medusa's mana for the same amount.
