You're not considering that it's actually 84 damage, not 42. It drains 42 mana, but that in turn effects the amount of extra damage it tacks on to their health bar. If it were a %, then could you imagine the return damage on champions like Veigar or Anne? Champs who aren't stocky in the health department, but are wide and vast in the mana area. It would be stupidly op, both just for the mana burn, and for the life return.

The effect is not meant to drain huge pools of mana in seconds, but to punish those who are low. Like someone else said - don't use it against a team of mages. Use it on some DPS champs who like to tag and escape.
