A quick question about hidden spells...

[The Arcot]

Does using the trigger action:

disable [ability] for all players

prevent the ability from functioning or just hide it? I am asking because I wasn't to adjust the attack speed and regen rate of all non-undead units when they enter a special region, so I made it so when they enter the region, an ability is added to them, but I don't want the icon to show. (the ability is removed when they leave the region).

I belive it both hides the icon and nullifies its effects.

You can still hide passive aura icons with a hidden Spellbook, however.

yeah thats what I was planning on doing, does spellbook have a 'this-spellbook-is-hidden' field I missed?

If you disable a spellbook, then the abilities within still work, you just can't see them. (or at least that's what I heard from someone else )
