Additional Insights
- If this mana is not used before the duration ends, the extra mana is lost.
- Takes 170 Health for 170 Mana for 10 secondsIf mana gained is bigger than current mana, then it will add an expanded mana pool for the meantime
- It is a very handy item and a very relialbe one specially to mana hungry spell user heroes early on the game, Not much of a game changer late so think of it as a disposable item in the long run

Trivia
The Soul Ring's icon in Dota 2 depicts a blue eye surrounded by a golden ring. This design bears a resemblance to the Eye of Sauron, a powerful and iconic symbol from J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy novel 'The Lord of the Rings'. While there's no direct link between the functionality of the Soul Ring and the Eye of Sauron, the visual similarity between the two has sparked discussions and speculations among the Dota community, adding a touch of curiosity and intrigue to the item's design.
