As the title states. What if mages had a cheap grievous wounds item?
Such as 
getting another tweak where it builds out of 
+ (the proposed grievous item) + finish cost.
Pricing the item? It could be just like 
and be 800g or it can be like 
and cost 1100g.
The effect would be just that of where inflicting magic damage will cause grievous wounds.
Would such an item destroy the dynamics of League/make mages too oppressive?
rip vlad and swain
then there'd be no point to playing a healer.
here's a scenario.
-upon taking damage applies gw
-upon dealing basic attack or physical damage applies gw
Item N - applies gw for applied magic damage. i.e abilities and effects of items. - can be cone, line, targeted, aoe, aura, skillshot, etc.
if we were to make a grid to represent the areas where a player can hit an opponent with this effect it looks like this
11111111 0000000 11111111 0000000 11111111 vs 0000000
as a marksman your area of effect with ec is
0011100 0110110 0011100
as a tank your effect with bv is
0011100 0011100 0011100
as a mage or assassin with item N your potential aoe is
1nx4/cdr
so in a sense you'd never need it early game unless you were facing a healer because you'd never be able to apply it consistently. those that can apply it consistently can already apply it with executioners calling due to the fact that they are basic attackers with magical damage properties. IF you need grievous wounds to the extent that your lane opponent will bully you out of lane then just take ignite or if possible try to choose a champion who can benefit from your opponents requirement to heal.
Just put GW somewhere on Oblivion Orb.
Also, adding GW might even justify its rather high price point.

Needs to have the GW part added and the MPen moved to the full item

I wouldn't touch the little orb of sexiniess, it's kinda neat on its own with flat pen. Would instead replace 
with something that gives 25AP and grievous wounds for the same 850 and have the same total/combine cost. You're losing 15AP for grievous early if you want it that bad but will recover it on combine whish will push people to finish the book.
What is dead may never die...is something no one ever said about old threads. Since this thread's been White Walker'd, I'm locking it (due to it's old age).
