Kind of disappointed that concept or "knowledge from predecessor" went to Karma
Was hoping that could of gone to Vladimir.
During the ritual, every drop of the monk's blood was drawn from his body and fused with Vladimir's, imbuing him with his master's magical essence, and that of every hemomancer before him. Left alone and suddenly without purpose, Vladimir resolved to return to Noxus, determined to prove the supremacy of his craft.
This could been further explore where Vladimir can gain guidance from the hemomancer before him. They don't control him but help guide him to show the world the power of hemomancing.
