Abilities
Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.
1 NULL SPHERE
Fires an orb that deals magic damage and silences the first enemy hit.
2 NETHER BLADE
Empowers his next basic attack within to gain range and deal bonus magic damage and restore a percentage of missing mana on hit. If Nether Blade kills the target its remaining cooldown is reduced.
3 FORCE PULSE
Deals magic damage to enemies in a cone and slows them. Force Pulse becomes enhanced after other spells are cast nearby, dealing increased magic damage and slowing instead.
ULTIMATE RIFTWALK
Blinks to target location and deals magic damage to nearby enemies. Casting Riftwalk causes the next Riftwalk within a certain amount of time to deal more damage and cost double the mana. (Up to 3 times)
