You can go for a straight spam build, I've done it but you use itemslots that could be occupied by more useful items and you lose early game damage. I did an Athene's and Archangel's spam combo, but it left my early game with too little damage (sure i could spam but i had to hit so many bombs to equal my lane opponent in terms of damage that it was barely worth it) and it also made me choose between a bunch of other items that i wanted. You're taking up two slots just for this mana which provides no AP until you upgrade Chalice and Tear and then boots and Rabadon's take up two more slots. This means you only have two slots left where you have to choose between items like Rylai's, Zhonya's, Void staff, Lich Bane and WoTA. Archangels and Athene's can't really be upgraded immediately either which means they only supply enough damage after you've gotten boots, Chalice, Tear, Rabadon's and preferably one more item which means you're nearing late game by the time it actually pays off. I just find that it isn't worth the early game DPS loss and the item slots it takes up which is why i started going for just Athene's for mana.
