2) Items

Cosmic Drive

• Ability Power: 90 ⇒ 100
• newUnique Passive - Spelldance: Damaging a champion (excluding damage over time) generates a stack of 2.5% Movement Speed every 1.5 seconds for the next 5 seconds up to 4 stacks (10% Movement Speed). At 4 stacks, gain an additional 10% Movement Speed (20% Movement Speed total). Dealing damage refreshes this effect. (Note: You only need to deal 1 instance of damage for it to start adding stacks on its own periodically. You then only need to hit them once again after a delay to fully stack it. Youdon't need to hit them 4 times 1.5 seconds apart. The intent here is that one spell does not fully stack the passive.)
