Build
The storm-zone control. Windstorm is the multiplier: the zone slows 20% and ticks - Ice Queen Wand's Ice Bound (10% slow per skill hit to 3 stacks) piles on every storm tick and Wind Blade hit, turning the zone into a crawl-field where his knockup (Windblow, 10s to 5.5s at this build's 45% CDR) becomes unmissable. Enchanted Talisman: 15% CDR plus mana - Windstorm 40s to 22s (17.6s fully leveled), the zone uptime his 78-mid plays around. Temporal Reign: after Windstorm, skills recover 1.5x for 4s - the second storm-window, the wind never stops. Magic Boots: 10% CDR plus 150 HP toward the 45 cap. Holy Crystal kept as the flat amp; Divine Glaive 6th for the MR-stack wall. No Glowing Wand here: this variant owns space with slow and uptime, the burn belongs to the damage build. 6th slot Divine Glaive: 20% conversion - the control mage still kills tanks.

Counter Builds
Vs Vale: his Wind Blade is a two-direction convergence - step THROUGH the gap between the blades, not back, the converge-point is the trap. Windstorm (32s fully leveled) is the zone: leave the circle the moment it drops, the 20% slow field is the kill-zone. His Windtalk (+8 MS per kill or assist, 10 stacks) is a snowball passive: deny the kills to keep him slow. He is 45/78/72 - the mid-game wind; Gloo-type DoT blobs are his wall, immobile drafts (Odette-style) are his food - and bring the heal-cut for his Glowing build.
