User blog comment:Emptylord/Class Reworks - Itemization Follow-up/@comment-4022742-20160512083756/@comment-3974211-20160512145947

Ardent Censor is ultimately a flaw in the Aether Wisp rework, and I tried to make it a support empowerment - but I'm not sure how losing an offensive empowerment for a utility one works. Perhaps it could be both.

That said, I fail to see how Taric and Alistar are gimped when the current effect of the item requires them to use their PBAOE heal on allies... Like, the current item requires them to be near their allies, so I fail to see how this is a downgrade. If the aura range at least matches Soraka's heal range, I fail to see how any of those champions would not easily use it.

But maybe having it empower the next heal OR offensive ability would be better, but I sort of wanted to make the item an option for non-healers/shielders.
