A lot of people want his edited. Mostly, either to remove the spell vamp or AoE and then buff what isn't removed, along with longer duration. Or, reworked entirely like what you said.

Personally, with an ability name like Desperate Power, I'd like to see something where you gain something for a short amount of time and then get debuffed afterward. Maybe something like increase you maximum mana pool by +x% and AoE for y seconds but you lose all current mana after duration. This will make Ryze buff his burst ability, but reduce his overall comboing ability as people liberally use 'R' as part of their chain regardless of the situation. Of course, I can see how this might be too drastic and cause for imbalance but, hey, any direction toward an edit/rework of his ult -- I'm all for it.
