To balance his passive in laning phase. Which does not much in a teamfight. Oh well, at least you get a tiny bit of mana back from killing the squishies. Still, the ult is the worst offender by far. With Swain's cooldowns, his high mana costs would be well offset by blue buff+a mana regen item since you are not really supposed to spam that much (E harass being the exception). Good thing AUG is a good option for him, the passive giving back mana works quite nicely with his huge damage.
