        <blockquote class="blockquote context">Unsealed Spellbook is supposed to be the keystone for players who want to swap summoner spells and alter their capabilities mid-game. Turns out that much Summoner Spell cooldown reduction is good even if you never swap all game, so we're reducing
          the amount Unsealed Spellbook gives.</blockquote>
