No, that cleared things up pretty well for the Q. I think it's great as it is now. Free mana would be a great incentive for a foe to come closer if they think it's somewhat safe.

It's funny too: if there was an Ezreal on Kyalith's team who really wanted the mana he might end up taking a shot because of it. It's bait for mages on all sides lol.
