Loomis' Fun with Pencil! (No RR) [Fully annotated]
Spiritmaxxing without Radiant Regeneration. RR is still good, we gotta learn to live without it. We will actively abuse the fact that Living Ink reduces cooldowns on abilities and items (including passive items!)
Early Game (Laning)
For now go L > R and don't skip anything
Extra Spirit
More spirit! MORE!
Extra Charge
+1 Charge is essential for Violet
Rapid Recharge
1 is just core to her kit. You can do a lot of damage, you can block with paint (right click)
Mystic Burst
You should already meet the requirements
MEOptional
Mystic Expansion
For 1's splash effect. Could be sold if short on slots, but usually thats not a problem. Don't upgrade it too early. Sometimes i never even upgrade it.

The main ability that benefits from this is actually 2. 1s splash also benefits. So is 3. But your 4 arena becomes bigger, which is actually not always a good thing
