you're much better on ryze with mana as opposed to AP. Especially early. Rushing tear of the goddess and then Rod of Ages will give you enough mana to cast almost constantly and a large kick to your Q spell as well.

Then with Rod of Ages, Archangel's Staff and Sorcerer's shoes you'll hit almost unfairly hard and never really have a mana issue.

After that, Glacial shroud will give you additional surviavability plus mana and CDR so you can hit even harder.
