Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Mind to Matter

    Silver

    Increase max Health by half of your Mana.

    Why on Ryze

    Arcane Mastery (Passive) raises your max Mana with Ability Power, so the large Mana pool you already build also gives you a big Health pool for fights.

  2. Overflow

    Gold

    Your Mana costs are doubled. Your Ability Heals, Shields, and damage are increased based on your max Mana.

    Why on Ryze

    Arcane Mastery (Passive) inflates your max Mana with Ability Power, so Overflow's Mana-based damage bonus grows large on every Overload (Q) you chain between your other spells.

  3. Jeweled Gauntlet

    Prismatic

    Your Abilities can Critically Strike. Gain Crit Chance.

    Why on Ryze

    Rune Prison (W) and Spell Flux (E) keep resetting Overload (Q), so you cast it constantly in fights and get many chances for it to critically strike.
