Spell Vamp and how Vladimir can give it back!

So you know how Spell Vamp used to be a thing until Riot gave up on it because of my main man Vladimir and now only AD characters have the option to heal from their damage? (Rest in Peace, Will of the Ancients)

So we recognize that Vladimir is the sole problematic element, yes? And we can easily seclude Spell Vamp to one single item, yes? Lets take this as an opportunity to make a fun lore item that specifically derives from the man himself! Considering nowadays we have things like Pyke's passive that completely reworks an entire stat (health) for that character, it doesn't seem crazy to give this item a different effect on Vladimir than it does on anyone else, neglecting to bestow the benefits of spell vamp to him. It could even be referenced in flavor text on the item itself. I'll give a rough example of the item right here, but keep in mind I'm not a Riot employee or a master balancer so cut me some slack eh? I'm using item 3102 and item 3157 as a sort of balance reference.

Item Name: Claw Ring (give it a nice picture of one of Vlad's Iron Reavers [those are his finger-doodles for those who don't know]) Gives: 40-60 Ability Power Also Gives: 30-40 Armor UNIQUE Passive: +20-30% Spell Vamp (Riot should decide what amount they want to give, adjusting other stats around accordingly) VLADIMIR Passive: Replace Spell Vamp with enhanced base stats (Maybe 20 more AP and 10 more armor? Or just 30 flat MR? Or even 300HP?) Example Flavor Text on item: This Profane implement has already served its original purpose, though the uninitiated may still find its dark powers alluring.
