+40 Ability Power +300 Mana +150 Base Mana Regeneration

UNIQUE Passive - HASTE: Grants an additional 10% cooldown reduction.

UNIQUE Passive - Reservoir: When falling below 25% mana your next basic spell cast has 50% its mana cost refunded (60 second cooldown)

UNIQUE Active - Blinding Bubble: Grants a decaying shield of light to surround a target allied champion for up to 2.5 seconds, absorbing up to 40 - 300 (based on highest level between target and caster) (+ 15% of caster's bonus health) damage. After 2.5 seconds it will explode, blinding nearby enemy champions for 1.5 seconds. (100 second cooldown) (650 cast range) (350 explosion range)

"The Marai use the remnants of the stone's light to protect themselves from what lies below until Nami returns."

Built from: item 3802 + item 1004 + item 1004

I wanted this to be a offensive support item of sorts. I also wanted to create a support item using Lost Chapter. Also Nami

{Edit 1}: Clarified Active cast and explosion range

I think this item gives way too much for it's cost (which is only 1550 since you haven't actually come up with a combine cost).

  1. 40 Ability Power.

  2. 300 flat mana (flat mana is one of the best stats on Enchanters).

  3. 150 flat base mana regeneration (that's a bit too much, don't you think?)

  4. 10% Cooldown Reduction that you're going to get no matter what because there's no other Supports that actually build Luden's Echo, Archangel's Staff or Hextech GLP-800.

  5. Unique Passive for even more mana sustain.

  6. A free Enchanter shield, on top of your Enchanter shield.

All of this, for 1550 gold.

If you want a mana sustain item for supports, consider the item: Staff of Flowing Water from the rotating game mode, Black Market Brawlers.

It gave:

  1. +40 Ability Power.

  2. +25 Magic Resist.

  3. +50% base mana regeneration.

  4. UNIQUE PASSIVE – MANA FONT: Every 5 seconds, restores 2% of your missing mana.

  5. UNIQUE PASSIVE: While in the river, grants +30% movement speed and +10 flat mana regeneration.

Builds out of: item 3028 + item 1052 + 300 gold (1635 gold).

You see what I mean? Your item gives even more than this one does, for even less gold.

It's going to be pretty damn busted.

I'd much rather have Staff of Flowing Water added to the game, and then the Heal & Shield Power on the other support items reverted back to 10%.

Because what you're suggesting just seems like it's going to have Supports going back to being Marksmen slaves and we'll see the rise of a second ADC meta.

If you make it so the blinding light only blinds those facing the shield when it explodes (like Cass ulti) I can see this being balanced with a little number tweaking. It's an interesting way to extend an allies life and encourage the enemy team to select a new target.

Interesting, but a blind on an item is WAY too strong; it becomes an instant rush. Plus, most Champions you're gonna be supporting don't wanna be right up against somebody (or within less than 500 units units, really).

I don't really see Reservoir being too useful, either, since you get it for that one spell when you hit below 25% mana. The situations where it'd make any much of a difference seems super niche, and it's on a 60 second cooldown, on top of that.

I'm really against having multiple cooldowns for one item, for the sake of clarity, along with... how would we visually show that, even?

I can't really gauge the stats, since you don't have an actual cost, but you get 2040 gold's worth of stats from this, along with those... really strong active effects. For comparison, Twin Shadows, a support item which is aggressive (albeit it doesn't build out of Lost Chapter), has a cost of 2400 gold, and gives 2099 gold's worth of stats, placing its' effect at around... 300 gold.

Your item is also more-or-less Face of the Mountain, but with the issues amplified.

Issue: The item has 2 different cooldowns

150 base mana regen?

did you forget the %?

650 range is a little high imo, but cool concept.
