Maive, the Kumugu Apothecary
Role: Support/Jungler
Stat Breakdown:
- 500 range
- Extremely frail
- Very high movement speed
- Resourceless... well, no resource BAR.
Synopsis: Maive is an enchanter who, rather than being gated by mana or cooldowns, is limited only by how much preparation he is allowed to do.
At the start of a match, Maive has no abilities. He must collect reagents from the rift and craft his abilities.
While his role in a match would be mostly supportive, there aren't a great deal of reagents that can be obtained from sitting in botlane, so a handful of his early game creations have been tailored specifically to aid him in clearing the jungle, allowing him to roam the map and gather his reagents.
Passive: Botany Knowledge
Maive does not put skill points into abilities. Instead, he puts points into each of the following categories.
- Harvest: Decreases time to collect reagents by 0.4/0.8/1.2/1.6/2.0/2.4 seconds.
- Brewing: Decreases time to create items by 0.6/1.2/1.8/2.4/3.0/3.6 seconds.
- Application: Decreases base CD of all creations by 10/20/30/40/50/60%.
Herbalism
Maive is able to recognize the magical potential within the reagents that can be acquired on the Rift.
When Maive or one of his allies triggers the "drop condition" for a reagent, it will drop on the ground for 5 minutes before it despawns. Maive can collect a reagent by walking up to it, right clicking on it, and performing a 3 second channel.
Not all reagents have a drop condition, and Maive simply has to find and collect it.
Maive has a special tab in his shop that shows him what reagents he has collected and what potions he can brew (brewing can be done anywhere, as long as you are not in combat). Some reagents can be purchased (Maive must be in the fountain to do so unless he is on ARAM).
Brewing is done by interacting with the menus in the Brewing shop tab. If you have all the necessary reagents, you can press the Brew button (the same place as the "buy" button for a normal item) to begin a 5 second channel that creates the item you've selected.
Maive can bind the items he's brewed up to Q/W/E, enabling him to use them. Once he runs out of one of them, he must either brew more or leave combat for 3 seconds to rebind that button to a new potion type. He can bind any Greater items he's created to R (likewise, one type at a time).
Maive can carry up to 3 of a regular creation (power on the level of a basic ability) and 2 of a greater creation (power on the level of an ultimate ability).
Making an entire crafting system is going to take a while, so I'll just give a few examples of reagents and potions
