I always thought of an initiator as a skill that gets you into combat - I just looked it up and it apparently doesn't mean that.

Q's passive triggers once when an enemy enter's Kyranal's personal sight radius and doesn't refresh when they stay. If they leave and reenter, or if another enemy champion comes as well, it is reapplied

E's Knockup lasts for slightly less than one second, probably about 0.8.

We'll just say dark flight is a placeholder name until I can think of something better.

Second ult cast having a cd is a typo.

The damage modifier is intended to be trivial and a secret modifier (think of leona dealing less damage to enemies with sunglasses, or the health reduction for multiple ninjas.)

Level 4 E having 5 mana cost is a typo.

I hadn't though of the passive's usefulness early game. I'll probably rework it.

R is global because I thought of it to be used to disrupt teamfights from long range. Much like a shen ult, except Kyranal is not endangered and also does not have the capability to contribute more damage.

Q's passive is not global. I should have made that clear, it only applies to Kyranal's personal sight radius.
