To give you an idea on how mana independent Malzahar is:

-I personally forgoe mana regen seals for health/AP per level

-Sometimes I put all my points I would normally put into Meditation into Swiftness instead

-I don't often build RoA like most Malz players (unless it's like Leblanc where I need survivability), so that I can still do enough damage with my Q/W/E without worrying about QSS rushes

-I had a game where I played with a jungle Karthus on my team. Obviously he needed blue, so I only got it once when I killed my enemy mid.

^And on top of all that, I almost never ran out of mana. Early game, if you're using visions too much for pushing, it doesn't damage enough, and it either works and starves yourself of safe farm, or it doesn't and leaves you wasting mana. Your AAs + voidling usually farm well enough early so you don't push as hard, can counter-harass/trade decently, and still have your mana.
