Why CDR? In dominion mana conservation isn't an issue, and you're still going to hit like a truck because the items build AP as well. The big thing going for CDR Morgana in Dominion is that you can cast all of her abilities MUCH more frequently. This is going to make you much more useful to your team, give you more survivability (I can usually get away from 2 or 3 champs with + ), and make them capturing a point you're defending nearly impossible without even having to be close to them =).



With the current point weighting in dominion you aren't going to be 1st place on your team most of the time, but I've found that she contributes as much if not more than most other champions to winning games.

Pros + High Damage Abilities + Great CC from and + Long Range Abilities + Very tanky for a caster + Great at taking and Defending capture points + makes heavy cc teams hate you =) + Morgana's great passive means that harassment while defending (ex. caitlyn's doesn't bother you.)

Cons - Relatively Slow for Dominion - You have to be good at predicting enemy movements to land

I haven't tested these masteries, although in theory they should work extremely well. This set-up should give Morgana a bit more BANG since fully offensive masteries are practical for AP characters now.

• Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed: This helps alleviate Morgana's movement speed deficit. Since being able to move between capture points quickly is critical in dominion these are in my opinion the best quintessence for most champions in dominion, especially slow champions =D.
  
• Greater Mark of Magic Penetration: Like any other caster guide will tell you, these are hands down the best marks for ap casters.
  
• Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power: Your masteries + items will max out your CDR, so I like to use these to pick up some extra oomph for my abilities =). AP/Level is better than flat AP on dominion because you start out higher level and you're going to hit the break even point very early in the game. (Around level 8 or 9 AP/Level give you more AP than flat AP glyphs)
  
• greater seal of defense: SURVIVABILITY Dominion is currently overrun by ad carries, and you have Black Shield for defending against casters
• Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regeneration: UTILITY You build CDR so you can spam abilities, but you can't spam abilities if you are out of mana... your Soul Siphon is going to keep you alive for long periods of time, so you can actually potentially run out of mana with Morgana.
• Greater Seal of Scaling Ability Power: DAMAGE Morgana has spell vampirism.. and her abilities scale well with AP, so extra AP/Level on seals is viable although you should keep in mind you aren't going to get as much efficiency (0.1 ap/lvl vs. 0.17ap/lvl with Glyph of Scaling Ability Power), I wouldn't recommend this.

This runepage is featured on the second build for this guide. It is mainly a response to the revamped mastery system which will allow for a more offensive caster set-up. It features all ap/lvl runes with the exception of the marks, which stay Greater Mark of Magic Penetration. If you are going to use this build make sure to pick up AP boosting masteries (i.e. Archmage )

Ghost is a great summoner spell for dominion with Morgana. It's going to give you a burst of speed that you can use to move to contested capture points, chase down enemies, or escape enemies.

Ignite is always nice for that extra burst of damage on enemies who are running away with a sliver of health.. burn baby burn =D.

Surge is a new addition to the summoner spell lineup. More ability power? 12 second duration? Sign me up!

• SOUL SIPHON: This is one of the better passives in the game even after being nerfed to 10/20/30 spell vampirism from 15/25/35. Your damage from spells is too inconsistent for it to save you during fights most of the time, but it cancels out harassment from enemy champions quite nicely =). Use Tormented Shadow on minion waves to constantly recover health and gain some gold to boot.
  
• DARK BINDING (Q): It's long range, it does good damage, it has a 2 second snare, and it's SLOW. at 1300 range this spell allows you to do some serious harassment without having to get anywhere near enemies, but because it is a slow projectile you'll usually have to lead the enemy if they are moving or see it coming.
  
• TORMENTED SOIL (W): This is an AOE DOT ability that also has a stacking magic resistance debuff. It has a slightly shorter range than dark binding but still long enough that it will outrange most champions, but the damage is well worth closing in some. Because it is AOE you can use it to interrupt captures by multiple enemies, and don't forget that the MR debuff will make your next spells hit harder =).
  
• BLACK SHIELD (E): This ability is part of what makes Morgana extremely hard to kill. The magic shield offers great protection against other AP champions, but the best part of it is it prevents crowd control effects for the duration of the ability!
  
• SOUL SHACKLES (R): One of the better ultimates for defending a capture point against multiple enemies, it does initial damage to surrounding enemies and slows them, if you stay within range for several seconds it will do the same amount of damage again and STUN any enemy hit the second time. Massive damage + multi-stun = win =D.
