Nevermove
PCActive: Swain launches a demonic wave in the target direction that deals magic damage to enemies hit.

Demonic Ascension is maintained with Demonic Energy, which decays by 5 every 0.5 seconds, increased to 7.5 after 5 seconds have elapsed. Swain generates 10 Demonic Energy every 0.5 seconds while draining from at least one enemy champion, and fully restores it to the maximum of 50 upon scoring a champion takedown.
Demonic Ascension: Swain is ghosted and drains the lifeforce of nearby enemies, both dealing magic damage and healing himself every 0.5 seconds per target affected. The heal is reduced by 90% against minions and monsters. Nevermove cooldown is also reduced by 20%.
After 2 seconds, Swain can cast Demonflare, and does so automatically when Demonic Ascension expires.
