Active: Shyvana's next attack strikes the target and the surrounding area dealing 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 (+30% of ability power) (+1.1 per attack damage) physical damage. This ability may be Recast after an attack or short delay within the next 4 seconds which mimics the first cast's effect.
Dragon Form: Shyvana gains an additional Recast, causing her to bite the target of her next attack dealing 15 / 22.5 / 30 / 37.5 / 45 (+37.5% of ability power) (+1.65 per attack damage) true damage.
When the effect ends, the shield is broken, or upon Recast the area around her detonates, dealing 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 / 160 (+65% of ability power) (+0.4 per bonus attack damage) magic damage.
Dragon Form: If the detonation hits an enemy champion Shyvana restores 60-100 (+4-8% missing health) health (depending on level).
Dragon Form: Shyvana's fireball is larger and pierces through enemies. Upon striking a champion, large monster, or reaching its terminus it triggers a pulse of fire that deals the same damage and slow again. The fireball leaves behind a trail for 2 seconds that deals 30 / 40 / 50 (+10% of ability power) magic damage over the duration (depending on level).
Active: Shyvana transforms into her Dragon Form, becoming unstoppable and flying to the target location breathing fire on enemies below dealing 150 / 250 / 350 (+100% of ability power) magic damage and causing them to flee for 0.75 seconds.
While transformed, Shyvana's basic abilities are upgraded, she gains 150 / 250 / 350 bonus health, 5 / 12.5 / 20% size and 25 / 50 / 75 attack range. Shyvana loses 3.3 Dragon Fury every 0.5 seconds and her transformation ends when she has no Dragon Fury remaining.

Shyvana runes
