Innate: Periodically, Maokai's next basic attack will have an uncancellable windup and heal him for 4% - 10% (based on level) maximum health.

Each time Maokai casts an ability, hits at least one enemy champion or epic monster with Sapling Toss, or is struck by an enemy's ability, Sap Magic's cooldown is reduced by 3 seconds.

Sap Magic resets Maokai's basic attack timer, and will not trigger if he is above 95% maximum health.

Enhanced Damage: 120 / 180 / 240 / 300 (+ 50% AP) (+ 12% bonus health)
