Elixir of Brilliance

The Elixir of Brilliance is a consumable item in League of Legends. It is best used by casters or other champions that scale with ability power, but the cooldown reduction can be useful to any champion.

Many caster junglers such as will buy an Elixir of Brilliance as part of their first items. The extra AP and the CDR both help with killing the Ancient Golem at level 1.

Using this elixir during the mid and late game is a good way to reach the 40% cooldown reduction cap without having to buy another item.

Elixirs are often bought towards the end of long games when builds are all completed and the extra gold continues to accumulate. Elixirs are automatically applied when purchased if there are already 6 items in the inventory.

Trivia
The Piece of Blue Candy was a Seasonal item that replaced the Elixir of Brilliance during the 2010 Harrowing celebration. It was essentially the same item with a different name and a different picture.
