^Image is just a general idea of what she'd probably look like.^

I think it would be nice to have a support that has a main goal of boosting allied mages, as opposed to being ADC-centric, or just a generalist. It's something that hasn't been done before, and with the removal of Soraka's mana donation and Riot's latest push for supports to have a more specialized niche (Soraka's healing, Braum's body blocking), I think it would be a great addition to the roster. So here is my idea:

item 2139 summoner 13item 3090 Selena, Apprentice of the Arcane

Passive: Master's Tutelage: Whenever a nearby ally kills a lane minion, Selena gains 0.5 ability power permanently, and a stack of Mastery. Hitting minions and monsters with Selena's offensive spells also gives her a stack of Mastery, and hitting enemy champions with offensive spells gives her 2 stacks of Mastery.

Q: Blister: Selena launches a fireball in a line, which explodes upon hitting an enemy (or at the end of the line), dealing 60/100/140/180/220(+0.5 AP) magic damage to enemies in an area around the explosion. -At 50 stacks of Mastery, missile speed increases by 50% -At 100 stacks of Mastery, the fireball knocks enemies back from the center of the explosion -At 175 stacks of Mastery, the fireball no longer detonates on contact (it will still deal damage to enemies it comes into contact with and knock them back) 50/60/70/80/90 mana. 14/13/12/11/10 second cooldown.

W: Pupil's Aid: Selena donates 40/60/80/100/120(+5% max mana) mana to an allied champion and increases its ability power by 20/35/50/65/80(+0.2 AP) for 3 seconds. Mana cost is equal to the amount donated. 15 second cooldown.

E: Hex Trap: Lays a magical trap on the ground that last 2 minutes. If an enemy walks over it, the trap deals 75/100/125/150/175(+0.5 AP) magic damage and silences the triggering enemy for 2 seconds. 70/65/60/55/50 mana. 18 second cooldown.

I'm not quite sure I like the ultimate I have for her right now, it's too generic and similar to Vlad's ult. Also feel it is somewhat lackluster, although it fits her theme well in my opinion. Any ideas? Maybe something that also works off her Mastery passive? R: Selena channels a spell that increases magic damage taken by 16/18/20% for all enemies in a medium area while the spell holds. 150 mana. 120/105/90 second cooldown.

So her general story is that she's an apprentice of magic that is seeking to become more powerful by learning from anyone that can teach her. I'm not great with storytelling, but this is the general theme that I was aiming for with her kit, especially with the whole growth over time and mastery passives. The idea being that as she watches her master, she learns and grows to become a powerful mage herself.

I think having something like this kit as a support would open up some possibilities such as having a sustained damage mage go bot with her, swapping things around a bit and making things more interesting. Thoughts anyone?

I like the below image as well, it seems fitting. I don't see her being sexy in any way, she'd be more involved with her studies. As such I feel like she'd be modest in attire, and I think these images capture that pretty well. It's something league doesn't have a lot of really in female characters.

Okay this is just too much, maybe instead have gain 1/1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8/2 AP per stack but she loses all stacks after she casts a spell. Would have to reduce the max to 50/60/70/80/90/100

Q: Blister: Selena launches a fireball in a line, which explodes upon hitting an enemy (or at the end of the line), dealing 60/100/140/180/220(+0.5 AP) magic damage to enemies in an area around the explosion. -At 50 stacks of Mastery, missile speed increases by 50% -At 100 stacks of Mastery, the fireball knocks enemies back from the center of the explosion -At 175 stacks of Mastery, the fireball no longer detonates on contact (it will still deal damage to enemies it comes into contact with and knock them back) 50/60/70/80/90 mana. 14/13/12/11/10 second cooldown.

Sounds okay.

W: Pupil's Aid: Selena donates 40/60/80/100/120(+5% max mana) mana to an allied champion and increases its ability power by 20/35/50/65/80(+0.2 AP) for 3 seconds. Mana cost is equal to the amount donated. 15 second cooldown.

If you are going with the "loses all stacks after she casts a spell" thing then it may be cool if instead of straight up AP that this just gave her target all current charges of her passive to use on their next spell.

E: Hex Trap: Lays a magical trap on the ground that last 2 minutes. If an enemy walks over it, the trap deals 75/100/125/150/175(+0.5 AP) magic damage and silences the triggering enemy for 2 seconds. 70/65/60/55/50 mana. 18 second cooldown.

It's a bit dull don't you think?

This could work... just needs some polish. How about she selects a target within a large area, and then reduces their movement speed, and MR by a large amount as she channels for, I don't know, 2 or 3 seconds. Once she is done she hits them will a blast that deals damage based on their missing health. This would give her both a way to clean up kills, and a way to drastically support her partner.
