Magic Wand and Item Builds

With the introduction of a 2 new items in DotA 6.68c and changing the recipe of Eye of Skadi, the AI team is challenged to change many item builds which are broken as we speak. For example: there are AIs with Arcane Ring into their builds... now this is changed to Arcane Boots but Arcane Boots doesn`t stack with the other kinds of Boots or Threads. So it is important the decision to leave Arcane Boots or take something else later and selling the Arcane Boots along with that. We decided some heroes to get Arcane Boots and after some time to change them for Boots of Travel. We will see how that goes in the upcoming tests. The change of the Skadi recipe will need even more work...
Also there were suggestions we introduce to the AIs the Magic Wand item. Apparently it is an useful item for the beginning but they doesn`t know how to use it. So i had to test if AI can operate Magic Wand programmatically. Here is a screen of me executing the item Magic Wand with a simple command: -aa. So, Magic Wands, welcome to the AI world of DotA :)
