Kassadin 101.

-Until level 6, in priority order: you should not die, never drop so low in health that you have to recall and aim for a perfect CS (Creep Score; the number of last-hits you land).

-Put a point in Void Sphere at level 1, Nether Blade at level 2, Force Pulse at level 3, then alternate between Void Sphere and Force Pulse. Use your nether blade to last-hit if you need to. Take ult when you can obviously.

-NEVER riftwalk on someone unless they are low health, running away, and you need to catch up with them. Never be in melee range altogether unless it's to finish off an opponent. Always remain on the edge of Void Sphere range or further away if the opponent has a greater range. As you gain experience you'll be able to figure out when you can and can't get close to your target, but default attitude is "STAY THE FUCK AWAY!".

-Never stack more than 5 riftwalks, and never stack riftwalks to just amp the damage (stacking them before riftwalking on the opponent). Riftwalk is used primarily as a mobility tool, not damage; so use it to move around and not to deal damage.

-Kill people in 2 or 3 bursts: you cast Void Sphere+ Force Pulse, kite them (retreat when they retreat and advance when they advance) then riftwalk+Void Sphere+Force pulse (if it's up)+AA.

-Aim for squishies, avoid tanks. You go mid and nowhere else and only against standard AP caster. Don't test yourself against Talon.

-Once you are over level 6 and the opponent has recalled/is dead; Push your lane to the tower and move to another lane that the opponent is pushing to gank.

Good build is: boots+3 red potions --> Catalyst -->Sorceror's boots --> Rabadon --> Lich's Bane ->Zhonya's Hourglass --> freestyle.
