Spectral wraith worth in gold. 2010 gold -600 because you don't use mana regen.

1410 gold. Spellvamp is worth 27.5g per 1% based on revolver's combined cost(330g/12). 550 gold value for 20%.

1410+550 = 1960 gold. It isn't worth the amount you pay in stats based off of the total cost. Not to mention it is an item that only gives 50 ap for one slot, not exactly the most slot efficient item on the market. One of the few Ap items that can get away with such low AP is Liandry's, and that is because it has magic pen and % hp shred attatched to it.

Will of the ancient's has 1740g in AP, as well as 550 gold in spellvamp = 2290 gold in stats for 2550. It sounds low right? After all spectral wraith only loses 50g for it's lack of efficiency. However consider this, In addition to being built out of Kage's (meaning you can earn gold back for it's cost) Wota also comes with an aura. Which provides 30 AP and 20% spellvamp to all people on the team. Supports, Junglers, your mid, and maybe even your top (lots of tops have AP ratios) can benefit from this aura. But how much money in stats does this actually give to your buddies?

653g for the AP, and 550 gold for the spellvamp as previously established. = 1,203 gold per teammate. And whether you like to think it or not, everybody uses skills and can benefit from at least the spellvamp.

If you feel like you need to disagree with my assertions by not looking into efficiency based on gold/stats then you better do your homework. Spectral wraith is not at all worth it on Vlad, if finishing revolver ever happens since games usually end by the 4 ish major item mark at latest.
