I went through every hero in demo mode and tested unit-targeted spells to see if phylactery was applying as expected these are the results I found:
1. Seem to be bugged, not applying phylactery and only unit targetable spells
Alchemist
Unstable concoction (throw): Bugged
Dark Seer
Ion Shell: Bugged, does not apply
Enchantress
Little friends: Bugged, does not apply
Tusk
Snowball: Bugged? Spell can only be unit cast but does not apply (items get muted in snowball so might be intentional?)
2. Phylactery applying when point-targeted as well as being unit-targeted
Earth Spirit
Boulder Smash: Works even when point targeting the floor to move heroes
Lion
Earth Spike: Bugged? Works even when point targeted
Sand King
Burrow Strike: Bugged? Works even when point targeted
3. Spells with point targeting and unit targeting and only applying when unit targeting (Working as expected but possibly imply .4 spells are not working as intended)
Hoodwink
Hunter's Boomerang: Works (Applies only if unit targeted)
Nature's Prophet
Sprout: Works if unit-targeted
Wrath of Nature: Works on first unit if unit-targeted
4. Spells not applying phylactery when unit-targeting but can also be cast as point-targeted (Most of these skills do not pop linkens sphere)
Death Prophet
Crypt Swarm: Bugged? Spell can be unit cast but does not apply
Dragon Knight
Breathe Fire: Bugged? Spell can be unit cast but does not apply
Jakiro
Dual Breath: Bugged? Spell can be unit cast but does not apply
Lina
Dragon Slave: Bugged? Spell can be unit cast but does not apply
Magnus
Shockwave: Bugged? Spell can be unit cast but does not apply
Marci
Rebound Shard: Bugged? Doesn't apply when jumping off enemies
Spectre
Spectral Dagger: Bugged? Spell can be unit cast but does not apply
Tidehunter
Gush: Works
Aghs: Bugged? Spell can still be unit cast but does not apply
Tiny
Toss: Bugged? Spell can only be unit cast but does not apply (even before talent)
Tree Throw: Bugged? Spell can be unit cast but does not apply
Troll Warlord
Whirling Axes (Ranged): Bugged? Spell can be unit cast but does not apply
5. Other
Hoodwink
Acorn Shot: Bugged? Applies if unit targeted, but is an auto-attack so not a spell?
6. No longer unit-targeted spells after AoE upgrade therefore phylactery is longer being applied. Probably working as intended but felt worth including based on other reports.
Bristleback
Nasal Goo: Works
Aghs: Breaks, no longer unit targetable
Lich
Sinister Gaze: Works
Aghs: Breaks, no longer unit targetable
