An idea I had myself for a fun change for Xerath:

Arcanopulse

Xeraths starts channeling, increasing the range and missile speed of the attack, for up to two seconds of charging. Releasing the ability causes Xerath to fire an orb in the targeted direction, exploding in an off centered oval upon hitting an enemy.

Xerath may continue to channel beyond the normal two seconds for an additional second, though Xerath will be unable end the channel prematurely. After the full channel, the orb (which he charges in his hands) explodes outwards, resulting in the current arcanopulse we have on live but possibly dealing true damage.
