There's a little bit of information missing here that I'm not sure is intentional or not.

-Is there a cap to how much Essence he can have?

-When the Q says 'extra magic damage', is that double the listed damage, or is there another value that should be there.

-The ultimate mentions that he can't gain Essence except through his passive, but there is no mention of him gaining Essence anywhere else in his kit.

Assuming the 'extra' damage from Q is doubled, that is a lot of magic damage for a skillshot that can pass through minions. If it isn't, then it might need more damage. Other than that the numbers seem balanced, nothing unreasonable (other than maybe the markd damage being slightly overtuned). He definitely looks like Swain-type mage where he goes "I'ma sit on your face and bleed you dry." Which worries me that Swain and this guy sit in such a close niche. What makes someone pick this guy over Swain? Swain is always ranged, has a more-or-less on-demand ultimate, and a snare.
