[Champion Concept] Archivolt, the Hextech Reliquary

#Background:

Since the beginning of civilization historians of Runeterra have spent their lives uncovering secrets from ages past and documenting their findings. The most prized of these secrets were that of the arch-mages, ancient spellcasters whose powerful magic could shape reality and bend the laws of the world to their will. Some of their scrolls still containing the power of their spells remained, but all found it impossible to emulate the magic of an arch-mage with traditional methods of spellcasting. Such techniques either did not work or had sever consequences if attempted by mortal hand, and casters could even die from them. Luckily after decades of research a solution was found. After a hefty commission from the brightest minds of bandle city and the support of the historic society of Runeterra the Hextech Reliquary was created: a robot capable of perfectly emulating the motions and arcane mutterings required to cast spells of the arch-magi.

During preliminary trials spells cast by the robot worked with some small success, but each failed casting changed the reliquary's behavior, ever so slightly warping its artificial intelligence. Even though it was programmed to purge memory of spell components after casting, the robot could memorize every motion, every word, and every phrase required for each spell. Eventually it could cast these spells from memory, creating spectacular displays of magic without instruction. Then one night, to the befuddlement of both scholars and scientists, the reliquary broke free from its base programming and escaped on its own, teleporting out of its confinements in an instant while leaving no trace.

Two months later, after considering the project a failure and shutting down the laboratory, the reliquary returned to the lab of his creators. Calling itself Archivolt, the reliquary told unpleasant tales of its travels throughout Runeterra. A great wound in the magical leyline, formed after the great rune wars, has dampened the spells once cast by the arch-magi. The only known way to cure such damage was to sever magic from those who stole their powers from the earth and join the leylines together again. Archivolt sought the institute of war in order to find a way to heal the strands of arcane power destroyed through years of conflict.

W: Shrapnel Blast Cost: 50/55/60/65/70, Cooldown: 11 seconds, Radius: 300, Range: 900

Archivolt launches a ball of burning shrapnel which detonates, dealing 80/120/160/200/240 (+50% AP) magic damage and knocking enemies back Supercharged: The cast time becomes instant and the shrapnel returns to Archivolt 0.5 seconds after being expelled, granting him a shield that absorbs 100/130/160/190/220 (+20% AP) damage for 2.5 seconds.
