AP Carry Ryze, able to pour out TONS of damage in late-game, due to multiple Rod of Ages with 10-stacks.

Start: Sapphire Crystal + Vision Ward (continue to buy 1 or 2 every time you recall, so you don't get surprised by gankers) OR 2 Mana Potions (If you want to be able to dump mana early-game and sustain yourself for longer)

Tear of the Goddess. By the time your first Recall occurs, you should be able to buy it outright.

Boots of Speed. Don't bother making these into Sorcerer's Shoes, with this build you'll need the money for AP early and mid-game

Ruby Crystal. If you have enough money buy Catalyst outright

Catalyst the Protector

Blasting Wand

Rod of Ages. This is your first of several. This should be coming around the 16 to 18 minute mark, although with luck and/or midlane, then you might be getting this earlier.

Blasting Wand

Archangel's Staff. Finish this off with the Tear you bought at the beginning of the game.

Blasting Wand. Get this before the Catalyst because at this point in the game, you should have enough health/mana to sustain yourself)

Sapphire + Ruby Crystals (Again, if you have the money, buy Catalyst outright)

Catalyst the Protector

Rod of Ages. This is your second. Don't worry about not having a stacked unique passive; you just want this for the AP.

Contine building RoAs until you are either full of them or you melt faces wherever you go.

NOTE: If you get the money and want the movement speed, get the Sorcerer's Shoes, but ONLY after your Archangel's Staff is finished. You want that up as soon as possible to get Seraph's Embrace.

NOTE: If you need more spellvamp and/or Magic Penetration, then substitute a Will of the Ancients or a Void Staff for the 2nd Rod of Ages. If you're comfortable with waiting on the AP boost from the 2nd RoA, then go for a Rabadon's Deathcap instead. Instead of buying another Catalyst, just buy a Needlessly Large Rod and build that and your Blasting Wand into the Deathcap. It's passive (+30% AP) will be a major difference if you have a RoA or two.
