With all that said, I can definitely see clairvoyance and especially teleport as viable alternatives. Clairvoyance will help you carry and inform your decisions to assassinate or abstain. Teleport is useful for holding a lane, something that Kassadin does not do well against notable pushers, e.g., Malzahar, Heimerdinger, etc. Teleport can also be used offensively to assist teammates or cut off a runner. In my experience, though, a teleporting Kassadin is a prone and very vulnerable Kassadin.

Clarity does have some use on Kassadin throughout the game, but it's inferior to flash, ignite, clairvoyance, and teleport. I'd probably place cleanse fifth. In the end, though, I still recommend flash & ignite for mid-lane Kassadins.
