I'd say 5 AA, Chalice, blue buff, 5x clarity, soraka, and endless enemy minions/neutral monsters (passive). I think you can hold it up for full minutes then. At lvl 18, each kill gives you 27 mana back, and you would (with the ~850 ap you have) need two hits to kill a minion. You have something like 150 mr/5 (don't forget innate regen), increasing to 300 mr/5 when you have 0 mana. And 4000 to start with. And because of blue buff another 200 mr/5, lol. So 350 mr/5 to 700 mr/5. Which means 140 mana per second. Quite a lot.
