Eh, Swain's mana woes are such that his passive should be changed entirely, as in into something other than recovering mana. No tweak to his current passive could make it recover enough mana so as to be noticeable without being OP. It is useful in the laning stage but this is typically up until level 6-7 (as I see it at least), after which you usually start grabbing kills (and burning mana as well) with Ravenous Flock. By level 6 Swain should have a monopoly on Blue Buff (if your team has any brains) so his passive is rendered largely useless throughout the rest of the match. Again, it's not useless but it has limited utility and leaves a lot to be desired.
