Quick Answer for Patch 26.20
Infernal Conduit
Prismatic
Your Abilities apply an infinitely stacking Burn, dealing magic damage over time. Your Burn effects reduce your basic Ability Cooldowns.
Why on Brand
Your abilities apply Burns that cut your basic cooldowns, so you cycle Sear (Q), Pillar of Flame (W) and Conflagration (E) faster and stack Blaze (passive) sooner.
1
Magic Missile
Gold
Dealing damage with an Ability fires 3 magic missiles, each dealing percent max Health true damage.
Why on Brand
Each damaging ability fires three missiles of percent max Health true damage, so your Sear (Q), Pillar of Flame (W) and Conflagration (E) combo cuts through tanks.
2
Phenomenal Evil
Gold
Permanently gain 1 Ability Power when you hit an enemy with an Ability. If taken after round 4, gain 40 Ability Power.
Why on Brand
You land Sear (Q), Pillar of Flame (W) and Conflagration (E) often in every fight, so Ability Power stacks quickly and all your spells keep hitting harder.
