What would happen if Quinn became an energy using champ?

Reason I ask this is because her abilities using mana doesn't exactly make sense thematically. Now, sure, there are plenty of champs where using mana makes no sense thematically (such as etc.), and one or 2 energy champs doesn't make sense as to why they use it ( and specifically), however, Quinn using it may give her an interesting buff (or nerf......I really don't know how it would work out). All of her abilities involve her and Valor....both of which are actual characters. So, why does throwing your pet bird into a fray of enemies in order to gouge out their eyes consume mana, something that is considered in the realm of fantasy to fuel spells and what not? Im sure throwing a bird as big as Valor would make your arms pretty tired (and buff.....for that matter), but the action consuming mana? It just doesn't make sense.

So, my question to all of you and any Rioters that may want to chime in, how much trouble would it cause it Quinn became another energy using champ? Would it cause utter devastation to the game as a whole, or leave Quinn in such an unplayable spot, that she becomes as pointless as (yes, I went there. Deal with it)?
