Hm. I'm thinking about it. Obviously you can't auto attack him. Sure your passive makes it to where your auto attacks scale with AP which is really nice but it's well within his stun range so you have to zone him. Problem is you are having trouble zoning him to death. Hmm. I think I have some suggestions that may help.

First lets address the mana costs. The Q is flat mana and it functions as an attack but to do additional damage you will use distoration which scales and also has mana costs. So don't put any points into distortion other than the obvious one. So basically. It's a 120 mana everytime if you want to harass Pantheon regardless on if he jukes it or not. That's expensive and you will run out of mana.

For that I would get bonus mana. mana per level. And mana regen. In both the runes and masteries. Consider Tear of the Goddess. Chalice and Tear will hold you in lane. You can also build Mana the catalyst if you want to get Rod of Ages. It scales well espescially if you rush it in lane. That's damage and mana but you won't have a strong mana regen.

For damage you will need ability power, magic penetration, and ability power per level in the runes and masteries. I will specfically advise you to have fulls marks in magic penetration and quints in ability power (with seals and glyphs dealing with flat mana and mana regen).

For masteries you will get all the ability power related tabs and max them with the exception of the spellsword mastery (unless you really want it!)

For summoner spells you should choose between Exhaust, Ignite, Cleanse, Clarity, and Teleport. (no flash?)

Teleport and Clarity are for lane sustain. You can rush him and run out of mana and get a second wind or farm really hard. Leave for the fountain as he pushes towards your turret and get back before he gets a single spear into it. Fantastic pressure but you will have to put money into warding the rivers. And that would slow your build down.

Ignite and exhaust make for a more aggressive lane. Exhaust would inhibit him greatly and he would take more maginfied damage. It goes without saying what Ignite will do. It is more dangerous though as using either puts you in range of his spells.

Cleanse is just to make sure that he doesn't try to rush you with Aegis or if the jungler has a lot of crowd control.

Get the respective masteries for the summoner spells you'd like to use. Also Consider the mastermind mastery as that will lower the cooldown of any summoner spell you happen to bring with you.

That should help hopefully.
