The Gem Field persists for 2 seconds, dealing half the damage to all other enemy units that enters the area. An enemy champion can only be damage once (either during the initial hit OR upon entering the field).
Beacon
Drops an Aura Gem that possesses 150 / 250 / 400 / 600 / 850 + (10% of Ability Power) Health and Armor equal to 50% of Taric's Armor. The Aura Gem takes 20% less damage from Magic Attacks and lasts for 7 seconds. While active, grants nearby allied champions bonus Armor equal to 25% of Taric's Armor. May only have 1 Aura Gem active at a time.
Dazzling Shot
Taric focuses all the light into a single gem before firing out in a straight line, dealing 40 / 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 + (40% of Ability Power) magic damage to the first enemy hit and stunning them for 1.2 / 1.4 / 1.6 / 1.8 / 2 seconds.
If fired towards Gem Field radius, it immediately explodes and will stun all enemy units in a much wider cone. If fired towards an Aura Gem, it will immediately explode and stun all enemy units in a radius. Will not deal damage to the Aura Gem.
Radiant Knight - Ultimate
Taric slams the ground with his hammer, dealing 150 / 250 / 350 + (50% of Ability Power) magic damage to all nearby enemy units and empowering himself for 12 seconds. While in Radiant Knight, Gemcraft activates faster and causes Taric's basic attacks against enemy champions whose Armor is lower than his to deal bonus magic damage equal to 30% / 40% / 50% of the difference.
Killing an enemy unit affected by Gemcraft while in Radiant Knight reduces all of his basic abilities cooldown by 2 seconds.
