His base attack speed succeeds those of all other champions, and it's too high for a "mage" (and the fact that he wouldn't need his auto-attacks for much).

Also his base health and base armor are too high for a ranged mage with this kind of kit. It's normally around 380~410 for health and 9~12 for armor.
