When a mage is played as a support, the trick is done by playing like a support in the laning phase, but shifting into an AP carry later on.

Though, I have always questioned putting a champ who is great at one role do a "sub-optimal" role instead. The strategy does give greater damage output for the team later on, but usually less utility and support items.
