Ok, so base notions:

- Reduced range on the Q and R and an increase on E all to 700 or even 650 range.

- Reduced base damage and scaling on Q and E. Think of Anivia's non-chain Q-E damage.

- Ultimate is a bouncing spell between Brand and the target champion with the first bounce dealing live damage, but each subsequent bounce only dealing 50% damage and bouncing twice.

- New W that's an AOE DoT like Cassio's W. Small damage or even no-damage and simply a slow field. Spells that are casted onto champions inside this AOE field are magnified.


 * Q goes from a single-target skillshot that stops into the first enemy that hits and gains a conic AOE like Graves' ultimate and deals double damage to all caught inside the field.


 * E's current spreading effect takes hold to enemies inside the field and the damage is amplified. Also both the E and the R would have their ranges be calculated from edge to edge, not center to center as most targeted spells...they are gonna be short range already.


 * R bounces between enemy champions instead, with each subsequent bounce gaining 50% increased damage on 4 bounces for a maximum of 200% increase before returning to first selected target, (like Ryze current E) thus allowing Brand to deal live ultimate max damage in a more reliable fashion.

I was inspired by Agni's kit on Smite, your point on making Brand spells spread and the idea of creating a kit with a similar idea but fundamentaly opposite to Anivia's own kit (fire vs ice thing aside). The point is to use the W field as an fuel accelerant to magnify Brand's Q-E-R weaker flames to nuclear explosions, (like Pyro from X-men, who can manipulate fire but not exactly create it, thus needing a base accelerant) creating a transition between an average/mediocre single target damage dealer to the premier AOE burst mage in the game. Of course if the enemy avoids the field Brand's much lower single target damage and short range would place him at appropriate risks during the game and he'll have a harder laning phase in return for massive teamfight power.

Problem is i'm missing an appropriate passive to bind this kit together.
