Ummm, guys, Blade Mail reflects pure damage like it reflects any other damage type.
Quoted:
Returns the same damage type as received.
The return damage which the enemy takes is affected by damage manipulation normally, since it is regular magical/physical/pure damage still. This includes damage block, meaning that return damage can be blocked by damage block.
It just doesn't reflect OTHER blademail damage. It has the no-reflection flag so there's no infinite loop if there's 2 blademails.
I see no reason whatsoever why blademail shouldn't work against Timbersaw, OD, Enchantress or whatever. Blademail should reflect dagon but not Laser? You realize how silly that sounds?
Blademail is here as a counter-power against OSfrog-tier heroes that can kill people from full HP in less than 2 seconds. The item may be anti-fun but it's a form of self-balancing of the game.

Exactly, all agreed! So it doesn't "l reflects as pure damage", as our Frog friend said, which seemed to be him lost in Dota time :)
