Puck spells: BKB and dispel

what BKB blocks and what can be dispelled
Illusory OrbBlocked by BKBInstant EffectMagicalCD 11 / 10 / 9 / 8

Vector Targeted. Puck launches a magic orb that travels along the path, damaging enemy units along the way. The orb deals an additional 3% of its impact damage every 0.5s in its area of effect, but if it exceeds the max cast range it will be destroyed. At any point, Puck may teleport to the orb's location using Ethereal Jaunt. Can be put on alt-cast to launch the Orb straight ahead.

Waning RiftBlocked by BKBBasic DispelMagicalCD 16 / 15 / 14 / 13

Puck teleports to the target location and releases a burst of faerie dust that deals damage and silences enemy units nearby.
