Maim is a percentage-based orb that can be inflicted by heroes with the item Sange and Yasha/Sange. It slows down your movement speed and attack speed. You can tell you are maimed when you see blood spewing from your hero's body. (Not Rupture. Maim shows less gore than Rupture.) I am not exavtly sure how much it slows you down. I'd say it cuts down your movement speed and attack speed by half.
The avatar ability from Black King Bar(BKB) gives magic immunity for 10 seconds. You can be targeted by most Ultimates, but you won't talk damage from them. The Ulties will stun/disable you though.

Well defining orb is hard. Spells such as Drow's Frost Arrow or Bone's Searing Arrows are orb spells. They can be both single-casted, by clicking on them and then clicking the target, and auto-casted by right-clicking the spell.
Item orbs are different. For example Corruption is an Orb Effect from the item Stygian Desolator. It reduces armor. Feedback is a similar Orb Effect that Diffusal Blade/Manta Style give, but it burns away opponent's mana with each hit. The most commin Orb Effect I guess is Life Steal. Life Steal is the Orb Effect of Mask of Madness and Helm of the Dominator/Satanic. But at the same time, Life Steal from Vladimir's Offering is not an Orb Effect.

hmm.. so what does it/does not imply if a given ability is an orb effect?
mane bolte chaisi kono ekta jinish orb effect hoilei ba ki na hoilei ba ki..
There are two critical things: Orb and Buff Placer.
Orb and buff, themselves are just some special categories. It is like, there are some abilities that i dont want you to be able to use together. so i make a group of them and define it such that only one of them may work at a time (based on priority).
One attack can have at most ONE orb and ONE buff at a time.
Some are ONLY Orb: Mana break, moon glaive, germinate, searing arrow, maim, corruption (deso), life steal (MoD) etc
Some are ONLY buff placer: poison sting, frostmourne, corrosive attack (elder dk 1), Eye of Skadii (range)
Some are BOTH, an Orb and buff placer: drow/viper/silencer/brood/sand/ursa etc
so, in most cases, an orb will work with a buff placer (MoD with Skaii [range]).
but if you have some thing that is both, an orb and a buff placer, getting something that is an orb or buff placer, will have some problem.
- It might completely malfunction (moon with deso= no attack)
- one might get totally override by other (Antimage with MoD = no mana break)
- they may work conditionally but both not at once (there are a lot of complex situations like manta on veno)
