575g for 20 magic pen is very cost effective, ESPECIALLY late in the game. The only issue is if the game goes on so long that you need more item slots, and since this item is so cheap, that's not an issue either: you can just sell it back (at the 1 hour and 10 minute mark or whatever). I did a little math to show the cost effectiveness, and I'll spare you the details, but the end result is that if you have a 300+0.8*AP skill, and you have 300 AP already, and your opponent has 80 MR (typical melee + mercs is 78), and you have 30 flat magic pen (sorcs + runes) and 15% magic pen (arcane mastery), adding 20 magic pen has the same effect as adding 92 AP. 92. I dunno why people think this item is bad lategame.
