ITEM CONCEPT: Mage's Buckler, another option for mages against AD threats

Options for Mages against AD threats are slim:

_e.g. _item 3157

Currently, this is the only viable option. As wonderful as it is, I feel like there should be more options.

For example, AD champs have several options against AP threats.

e.g. item 3155 item 3156 item 3137 item 3814

This seems immensely unfair, and I propose adding a second option for mages against AD threats.

Build Path: item 1026 + item 3024 + 1050 Gold

Total Cost: 2800 Gold

Mage's Buckler

+60 Ability Power +30 Armor +300 Mana

UNIQUE Passive: 10% Cooldown Reduction UNIQUE Active - Buckler's Spell: Gain a shield that absorbs up to 150-510 physical damage (based on level) for 3 seconds. If the shield expires without absorbing maximum damage, the shield detonates, dealing 50-230 (+35% AP) magic damage in an area to enemy champions and slowing them by 20% for 1 second. (160 Second Cooldown)

If the shield expires or absorbs it's maximum damage, the shield detonates, dealing 50-230 (+35% AP) magic damage in an area to enemy champions and slowing them by 20% for 1 second.

^Legit a big reason everyone hates Ivern. Even if you use good gameplay sense and pop the shield before it times out, you still get the brunt of it. Most shields lose their benefits when destroyed--except Ivern.
