Actually, you guys are making this way more difficult. Click on Abyssal Scepter. It is 20 magic reduction to the resistance of "nearby" enemies. So you see it is no different than boots or guise, except that it effects ALL champions near you, making this reduction available to your teammates as well (of course if they are near you).

Though it sounds better, it is balanced out by the fact that if your hero has long ranged magic like EZ's ult, Janna's tornado, or Kog's ult, you will not see much use of this "nearby" reduction.

Now obviously with Ryze's short ranged magic, this will be very useful, especially in battles with other mages. The real question is how far is nearby? Is EZ's W skill to far? Distance is the real question I think.
