Spell Vamp

What Does Spell Vamp Do?

Spell Vamp grants the attacker a percentage of their damage, dealt via spells and abilities, back as health. This only applies to skills that do not apply on hit effects (such as Kennen's Thundering Shuriken and Brand's Sear). This also only applies for spells with AP (Ability Power) ratios, hence Caitlyn's Piltover Peacemaker does not receive any benefit from Spell Vamp because it scales off of Attack Damage.

It is important to note that Spell Vamp will only do 33% of however much you have Spell Vamp you have if you use an AoE spell. As an example, if Brand uses his Pillar of Flame at rank 5 on 2 minions with a Hextech Revolver, he will only get 255 x 0.12 x (0.33 x 2) worth of health. This is in place to stop people healing absurd amounts from minion waves. However, if a spell has some form of multi/single target effect change (such as Mace of Spades) it will only heal 33% if you hit more than one. Spells such as Ahri's Fox Fire which just count as multiple instances of single target spells (as they only hit one each) will apply the full 100% of your spell vamp.

Spell Vamp is reduced by healing reduction effects such as Ignite.
