Champion Concept: Edalthia, the Theurgist of the Occult
Role: AP Mage, Assassin
General Design Philosophy: Edalthia is a powerful nightmare in late game, whilst very weak during the early game. He is able to initiate team-fights all by himself, although once silenced, everything backfires. He is designed to dish out damage to tanky opponents, yet lacking the power to finish them off when all his abilities are on cooldown. He greatly relies on his passive, which imbues a "rule" in his next ability, his basic abilities are centered on creating contracts with his summoned deities, enchanting his attacks temporarily.
Overall, his kit is designed to introduce a new type of mage that relies on his enchanted basic attacks, whether each one applies a buff or debuff, players should aim to master his abilities.
Risk Analysis: Hard. Similar to Katarina, once silenced or afflicted by "Crowd-Controls", they can get easily countered. But over the course of time, just being able to be in the right side of the battle field causes him to be a great pain to his enemies.
Appearance: A heavily armored mage, hosting several weapons at his back. http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/runescape2/images/f/f1/Battlemage_thumb.gif/revision/latest?cb=20120904041109 http://pre14.deviantart.net/d391/th/pre/i/2013/104/0/3/armored_fire_mage_by_ekoki-d61oizt.jpg http://armoreddragons.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Heavy-armored-mage-warrior-demon.jpg
Weapons: http://www.daevasreport.com/wp-content/gallery/aion-1-9-2-0/2-0_staff.jpg http://mrpgworldofapocalypse.weebly.com/uploads/1/4/8/2/14824840/9398875_orig.jpg?0
Lore: I thought I could stop them, when the clock stopped, the dread triggered... I was useless, not even trying to be selfless. Now I am doomed to make a contract with this being, pulsing with all energies dark and corrupting. I should have not forsaken the final command of the Vancian Rules. It had exactly entailed that all things with a contract are bound with a great "Clock". Now doomed, I must try to fix this so called "clock," lest I get engulfed by this deity. I am Edalthia theurgist of the Vancian Occult, forever doomed to be the clockwork, forever doomed to be the servant. Only now you do not know what my purpose is, but for now... I will be in the silence.
Whether the deity summoned is a voidling or something of the unknown, Edalthia is still a powerful figure, only bound by the constraints of the broken "clock".
Strengths: Many combos and spells to design his next basic attacks and additional bonuses based on the weapon he is equipping.
Weaknesses: No escape, falls off when "crowd-controlled", and is reliant on his current weapon.
