I use 2 Mpen Quints and 1 HP (because I don't have 3 Mpen and to feel safer :P), Mpen marks ofc. and AP/lvl glyphs. Seals are mp5/lvl but just mp5 would be better i guess...

Why I use these? The almost full Mpen makes you deal true damage to most champs at lvl 3 or 4 (when you get your E). The mp5 is very much needed to fulfill Ryze's "machine gun caster" potential. Many oversee that you don't need any CDR runes on him (if you get the 9% from masteries) as you will build Frozen Heart every single game. The AP Glyphs are a personal trick of mine - I noticed that most people underestimate your damage early since you "only" scale off of mana. But Ryze does have AP ratios too and especially the 0.6 on his Rune Prison is a nice buff to your damage output when you have that AP. :P You could take MageResistance as Glyphs or even CDR, but I feel that those are a waste. ;)
