A conversion would be preferably but I think you have it backwards. Riot doesn't want him building Frozen Heart (or rather, doesn't want it a mandatory buy) - and giving him something extra for buying 20% CDR would make it more mandatory. You need to reward him for buying the other stats, so other items are preferable/contest Frozen Heart. Maybe "Ryze gains mana equal to 25% of his bonus health" so Kindlegem items are attractive or "Ryze gains double mana regeneration from items and runes". Alternatively, add 10% CDR to his innate (which is increased to 20/30/40% with his ult passive) and make him convert CDR from Runes, Items and Masteries into something else (e.g. "CDR from items, runes and masteries does not affect Ryze's cooldowns but instead increases his maximum mana by 0.5% for every 1% CDR.").
