Uuuum Passive passive passive...

I suck at champion concepts tbh but here's my thoughts.

When in either form, she gains a stack of lets call it fatigue for every ability she uses. Each stack of fatigue decreases her movement speed by 2 stacking up to 5 times, total -10. Upon switching forms, she consumes the stacks and gains rekindled spirit stacks. These give her a bonus movement speed equal to double the debuff on her from fatigue, totaling a max of +20 movespeed for 5, totally random number, seconds after switching stances. Fatigue stacks will not generate while rekindled spirit is active.

What this would do is prevent what I commonly see top lane Jayce's doing, farming their tear all game top in cannon form, because now, the enemy lane can actually get to Ruby. This also encourages form switches because you actually get something out of it. Since Nid's jump is on such a low cooldown, and Jayce's takes you directly to the enemy, I think she needs this to consistantly close the gap.

It also goes with the whole cliche anime story thing of main character fights, main character almost dies or at least looks really tired, main character finds magical source of energy so they can destroy everything.
