Patch History[]
- Stack Friendly: Dark Seal is not unique with other Doran's items, so feel free to pick both up
- Health: 40 ⇒ 50
While Dark Seal is meant to be a high-risk, high-reward item, it's become a consistently high-value option for most AP users, even for champions that appreciate the mana on Doran's Ring. We’re pulling back on the stacking pace of the item so that there's more risk involved when opting into Dark Seal.
Making Seal a better option for those who don't need mana, and unbinding its strength from potions.
We've removed "The" from some item names and descriptions!

Patch 9.7
Ability power, sell-back value decreased.
Dark Seal is meant to be a greedy purchase to eventually upgrade into an even greedier Soulstealer, but its stat efficiency is so high and its sell-back value so good it’s become the correct choice to buy (sometimes in multiples) in too many situations.
v6.2
The Dark Seal
Cheaper cost so you can start with a refillable potion or three health potions.
The Dark Seal was designed to be a 'limited window of power' fantasy, so we're going a little harder on that. Now the dream start is a Dark Seal + Refillable Potion, where you get first blood for some stacks and an early Corrupting Potion (and that feel-good item synergy), play arrogantly, lose all of your stacks on a failed gank, stubbornly refuse to sell your Dark Seal (even though it's like selling a Doran's Ring), double down on Mejai's, and never get past 5 stacks.
I'm not projecting, I swear.
v5.22
Alternative starting item to Doran's Ring. Builds into Mejai's. Is dark. Is a seal.
Doran's Ring has always been the go-to starting item for mages, but offers more in the way of lane safety than offensive potential. The Dark Seal trades defense for all-in power, presenting an aggressive option for champs who want to roam and make plays to start a match off strong. Fail to snowball? No sweat, just sell it off like you would your Doran's and proceed as normal. Get a few early fights in your favor? Go for glory and start stealing some souls.
