Shadow, 2P -- Shadow Word: Death deals an additional 55% damage, and you no longer take damage from your own Shadow Word: Death when the target fails to die......

So does that mean my mana regen from it will be over? If I'm not damaging myself with it, then I'm not regening mana.... hmm... Good and bad I guess.
