only does 30 magic damage at full stack while
does 40 magic damage EVERY autoattack.

Finally, the damage transitions well. Magic damage from the shard gives you a meaningful taste of power whilst building towards Wits End. So you can build Wits End without feeling bad that you're 2/3 in your build.
