To add weight. Second reply is correct. Mana cap is fixed. the AP is not. People that stack AA's are doing it for the AP not the mana.

It's 3% (not .03%) of maximum mana. So at level 18 Viegar would have 2585 mana total. Which gives 122 ap just from one of these fully charged. Each subsequent one would add another 400 mana so that is another 12 ap PER AA so for two you now have 269 bonus ap. A third gives 440. A fourth would put you well over 650 ap. But at that point a Rabadons is more useful as that would throw you over 700 ap.

Although, once you get over 500 ap you should really start looking at magic pen or MR reduction items. . .(or even something crazy like surivival items) Because the difference between one shotting someone when you roll with 500 ap is really no different than one shotting them with 800, And if you can't kill them with 500 then another 300 probably isn't going to make enough difference unless you start breaking down their MR.
