Summary

Searing Arrows does not affect ethereal units but it can be manually ordered to be cast on ethereal units. The missile will just be missing.

Description

Tested on Ethereal Form and Banish.

Expected

Trying to manually cast Searing Arrows on ethereal units should not allow the order, displaying the error string as if you were giving a smart order (“Ethereal units can only be hit by spells and Magic damage.”).

Actual

Trying to manually cast Searing Arrows on ethereal units fires all the events, subtracting mana, triggering cooldown (Searing Arrows has no cooldown on default), interrupting shadow meld, etc.
