Been trying out Magic Carpet lately, and have noticed there were several instances when Magic Carpet got automatically canceled as if I had tried to use an active item or jumped. After dying to this repeatedly in games, I decided to test it out and figure out exactly which spells / items were causing it.
I used Graves here because she has spells that continue to function even while she's flying. In her case, some spells/items don't trigger the knockoff (Jar of Dead, Mystic Reverb, and Tankbuster), but I've attached clips of the three that reliably do. I suspect it applies to other heroes as well, but these clips do illustrate the issue well.
I'm assuming the game is treating each of these triggers as a fresh spell cast or item usage, which is normally disallowed while riding on the carpet. What's interesting to me is that items and spells aren't allowed while riding the Hyperline either, but these same triggers won't knock you off it, so the Hyperline probably has its own separate logic.
