How necessary are Mana runes? I like Ryze a lot but I have no Mana runes whatsoever. My runes for AP carries are essentially MPen Reds, Mana Regen Yellows, a mix of AP per lvl and flat MR blues and AP quints. Some people say that at least mana per level yellows are mandatory on Ryze since it gives almost 200 mana at level 18, but I'd like a second opinion.

Also, why do people choose between BV or RoA? Can't you build both? Ideally I think a Ryze build would look like this: Sorc Boots, RoA, BV, FH, AaS, Void Staff. Any thoughts?
