Ability power (AP) is a stat that boosts the effects of some items, abilities, and runes. Those effects receive a bonus proportional to the ability power of the champion. For example, if a champion has 50 ability power and one of their spells deals 100 (+20% AP) damage, the damage of the spell is 110. The spell descriptions in the game do not show that percentage, they show the resulting bonus. The description of the spell in this example would show the damage of the spell as 100 (+10).
Every champion starts with 0 ability power, and level-ups do not grant additional ability power.
Ability power can be increased with items, abilities and runes, it 
stacks additively, and each bonus point acquired directly affects its statistic.
- Ability power has a gold value of
21.75 per point.

Trivia
- The ability with the largest AP ratio is
Annie's Summon Tibbers, with a maximum AP ratio of (+ 615% AP) counting initial cast of (+ 75% AP) and the target taking damage from all 45 ticks of Tibbers aura damage ((+ 12% AP) per tick). - The second and third bounces of Nami's Ebb and Flow scale exponentially, however the low base ratio means it will not beat other spells at normal levels of AP.

- Items (after Seraph's Embrace) = 100 + 15 × 5 + 120 + 145 + 115 + 100 + 179.1874375 = 834.1874375 AP
