User blog:Romanoff Blitzer/Kiria, the Swordmage

Kiria, the Swordmage is a custom champion.

Concept
The intent behind Kiria was to create an AD caster. But not just any AD caster. An AD caster that isn't a fighter or an assassin. An AD utility mage.

I realized that making abilities scale off of AD wasn't enough thematically; most AD scalings involve the use of weapons. So I thought up the idea of a sword-manipulating mage.

Lore
An Ionian girl with floating swords? Sounds like. On one hand, I don't want to take away Irelia's creative niche. On the other hand, Irelia's kit (tanky melee sustain assassin) and her theme (floating swords) are incompatible. (See this topic.)

Summary: Ionian warrior who seeks enlightenment through war.
