Kaya reduces mana burned but does not reduce damage dealt due to the mana burnt.

According to each spell's text, AM's passive (mana break) should deal 50% of the mana burned as damage, and Diffusal blade should deal 0.8 physical damage per mana burned.

I have tried both against a hero with no items and a hero with kaya and the mana loss was indeed reduced but the damage was still the same as if no mana was reduced.

Diffusal - with kaya

Diffusal - without kaya

Antimage - with kaya

Antimage - without kaya

Edit: I may have worded the title incorrectly, the issue is not that kaya doesn't reduce the damage, it's that spells that burn mana should deal damage based on the mana burned, but this is not the case with kaya, the damage is always dealt at full as if the attacked hero had no kaya.
