Not to burst your bubble, but there aren't that many channels in the league. especially those that last exceptionally long. "bursting" with this champ would take 18 seconds

he would never see play. with his pylon, he can have 2 abilities going. so he can heal and deal AoE damage, or heal and channel bolts, or AoE damage with bolts. this leaves very few options for him to actually be played with. for example: lets take a look at another channel champion. Fiddlesticks. his Drain, at max rank, lasts slightly longer than the cooldown. thats what makes it an "ok" channel. now when this guy burns his cooldowns he is sitting there. with nothing. i do not know if your concept is an AP tank, support, or AP mid, but one thing is for certain. i dont want my squishies standing still. even with the afore mentioned fiddlesticks, he usually walks around the teamfight with his ult.

interesting concept, love his passive, but maybe work at least one, non-ult ability into an active.
