I know that mages don't have to be magic damage, but if he's throwing fire at people, he should be. Also, the entire point of this was to make someone who deals straight magic damage but fills the role of an ADC, which allows you to have a comp that involves, say, full tanks top and jungle and an AD mid.

AP varus does not have nid level poke. Not even close. His poke does physical damage and scales off of ad. What AP varus has is really, really high dps against tanks, owing to his ability to do like 50% max health damage every three autos.

This guy is even more of an ability spammer than (probably) any other champ in the game. 2 second cd on two of his spells, before cdr.

How's W broken? Granting a ton of CDR is the mage equivalent of an AS steroid. The damage around him is minimal and the scaling is low. I should probably remove the movespeed buff, though. Also, the big reason I made it give CDR is actually to discourage players from itemizing him for 40% cdr anyway.
