I myself play Pugna a bit different. In opposite to you, i go straight for Mjollnir, there are enough kills to get via nuclear blast in early game, same goes for towers, so this is no real problem. 2 Null Talismans, PT strength and thats it, Mjollnir is the next item for me to get. After Mjollnir, I suggest EoS (EoS ranged stacks on Mjollnir). The further on this socalled "bug" works on all items, that cast a spell or have a chance to: Sange, S+Y, Deso, Maelstrom, Mjollnir. Having Skadi with you does not take any effect on this, you may still attack astral units. But i got another "bug" for you: having for example Maelstrom in your inventory automatically switches your attack to magic if you attack an astral unit. Yet, Mael does not need to be the dominant orb effect. The means, having both: Maelstrom/Mjollnir/... and e.g. Satanic in your inventory (while lifesteal is the orb effect with the highest priority) will make your attacks be of type Magic, as well as giving you lifesteal. Further on, your magic attacks get the same 40% dmg-bonus like spells do. This now means, that if your inventory maybe consists of PT, Mjollnir, EoS and Satanic, you got about ... 250 dmg as the basic value. Means, you deal about 350 dmg per hit. Activated Satanic grants you 175% lifesteal, means you would get more than 600 hp back each succesful hit you place on an astral unit, while they cant even struggle. This is even then quite effective, if you play against heroes with high dmg-output such as Mortred and Troll (Well, they would normally go for Black King Bar, but to be realistic... of what use would Aghanims and Dagon be in this case?) This Method is the most effective in a different skillorder: an actually much less complicated one: Raise up Nuclear Blast and Decrepify by turns, leave the rest out, go straight for stats (its a nice way to make fun of your enemys if you just use your ultimate to activate lincens (which works in the same way for roshan)) Keep in mind, that every spell you are gonna cast in the time of Decrepify could be replaced by 2-3 hits. having mjollnir, your foe would get about 450 dmg by nuclear blast but about 900 dmg via just hitting with mjollnir in the time the casting would take. (and now imagine the dmg, your foe would take, if you had Skadi and Buriza in addition) That's why any further spells, with the exception of Guinsoo's, are absolutely useless. (In Addition: 3.5 sec decrepify, another 3 from hex, and decrepify is ready again) However: Aiming for an Itembuild consisting of Mjollnir, EoS and Buriza and/or Guinsoo's is a nice way to own the whole game. (And for you're able to get nearly every tower as well as the easiest lasthit on roshan you have ever seen, this is absolutely possible) I know, that this whole thing sounds strange and that many may now call me stupid, as well as I admit, that this might be hard to believe, but I'm offering you are Hero that should be able to win EVERY Confrontation. So why don't you just try it out first?^^ Well, this is the method for playing Pugna, that is the most usual.

That’s why any further spells, with the exception of Guinsoo’s, are absolutely useless.
