Doom 'n Gloom (Innate)
Passive - Doom: Periodically, Vex gains Doom, which empowers her next basic ability to knock down affected enemies and cause them to flee from her for 0.75 to 1.5 seconds, during which they are slowed by 60% to 99%.
Doom's cooldown resets upon respawning. If Looming Darkness triggers Doom, all targets will flee from the center of its area of effect instead.
Innate - Gloom: Nearby enemy champions that dash or blink, as well as targets hit by Looming Darkness, will be marked with Gloom for 6 seconds. Vex's next basic attack, which becomes non-projectile, Mistral Bolt, or Personal Space against a marked target will consume the mark to deal 30 to 180(+ 25% AP)bonus magic damage and refund 25% of Doom's cooldown.
Against marked non-champions, Gloom deals 40% to 60% damage and refunds 10% of Doom's cooldown.
Effect Radius: 1600 .
Static Cooldown:25 to 16 seconds.

Looming Darkness will cast at max range if cast beyond it.
Active:Vex commands Shadow to launch itself in the target direction, granting sight of the area along its path for 0.4 seconds each and dealing 75 to 175(+ 20% AP)magic damage to all enemies hit.
Shadow stops upon colliding with an enemy champion, marking them for 4 seconds and revealing them for the duration. Shadow Surge can be recast while the target is marked.

If the marked target dies within 6 seconds of being hit by Shadow Surge, Vex can cast Shadow Surge again at no additional cost for the next 12 seconds after 0.5 seconds.
