With some mana regen from masteries and runes and an early rank in "W" you can both harass and last hit with Q consistently without getting starved for mana. That is, if you can get to attack and last hit with your autoattack. Early or Chalice can help you do that. Just be defensive until you get a few ranks of Q and be sure to trade with your opponent and hurt him in return if he gets agressive at you. Kassadin is vulnerable to being pushed early on, but once he gets lvl 6 he can clear a minion wave with R + E.
