Q ratio is probably a little too low, even with the bonus damage based on missing mana (I think max would work more). It looks like her main non ult damage ability. It also has a longer CD, lower scaling and base damage that her E, making it kinda useless as a whole. I think an outright buff to the ratio, base, and a change to the mana based damage would smoothen it out.

Also, how does her W fit into her kit? Is it meant as a reposition for her ult? It doesn't seem to really fit her theme. A free almost-ghost seems kind powerful, but the mobility doesn't seem to work into a mage with a channeled ult.

That E tho, utility is broken, she can easily permastun a target with the 1.5 second CD on a 4 second stun. Also, a 4 second stun with 10% of the targets max health as damage on a 1.5 second CD, the stun alone is the longest hard CC in the game, one of the longest CCs period. I think with that stun and free damage, a 15 second CD is more appropriate, and a major nerf to the stuff. The short range also means she can't use it in proper conjunction with the rest of her kit, with that immense range on her ult and Q. Despite this, if she could get in range to use it, it gives her way too much self peel and utility.

The ult however, so, its basically a slightly buffed Vel'koz ult, on a 10 second CD, and a toggle cost. I think that making it a toggle would be more effective, similar to Anivia or Swain, the constant mana cost+CD make it kinda wonky. Also, the scaling in dps for the ult seems just a little strong, 45% per second? Seems strong for a toggle, makes the mana cost pretty useless.

Finally, how is she meant to be built, focus on HP+Mana+AP? Mana for the ult and Q, HP for the improved passive, and AP for the, you know, actual damage? Rylai's, Liandry's, Rabadon's, Archangel's, Void, Sorcs?
