Talk:Chalice of Harmony/@comment-4611089-20111117194150

I say Chalice of Harmony is well worth the amount of gold it costs, and even pays you back for buying it in the form of mana and easier-to-earn points in Archangel's Staff If anything, running both at the same time allows you to spam more spells without worrying about mana, thus allowing you to gain more mana from the staff, and thus increasing your AP. Due to that, it seems to create a chained-together synergy that makes you a more viable force a LOT sooner. I could imagine dropping Chalice during late game, but only after Archangel's has been fully charged, which would happen only after a LOT of casting, which pretty much lets Chalice pay for itself via having done the work of several dozen mana pots as a minimum estimate. Not that one can't do without a chalice, but it makes it that much easier for an Archangel's/Manamune user. Also, as for a few champions that could benefit from chalice, I choose Sivir, Ashe and Swain. Sivir's Ricochet and Ashe's Frost Shot can be left active through almost the entire game with this item equipped, and Swain's time transformed can be doubled and still leave him with mana for his other three spells. On top of that, the magic resist helps all three of them with survivability. If anything, the item seems too good, due to the fact that it lets Sivir indefinitely spam damage to everyone in range by attacking any one thing in range, gives Ashe a neverending slow almost as good as Frozen Mallet's that costs less than most boots, and gives Swain the ability to, should he ever possibly run dangerously low on mana due to being transformed for an extended period of time, simply de-toggle and wait for the cooldown of Ravenous Flock to regen before quickly activating it again with an incredible amount of mana regenerated in the meantime, and that just covers those three. Think about what other mana-users could possibly get their spells/toggles to become exponentially upgraded by the almost infinite mana this item can provide.
