His passive is for mana regeneration and not for mana gained from items, so no. Also Clarity is one of the ideal abilities to pick up on this champ only beacuse the 5-10 seconds that you may need to keep your raven form on (from Clarity) in team fights have been known to cost people the game.

He may have a high mana regeneration, however he also has one of the fastest mana spending of any champion in the game, so unless you stack Archmage staves, you will find your self having to back at the end of every team fight or run into battle with a very short duration on raven form. (Depending on the match, raven could be your only option of survivability).
