/\ /\ I agree wholeheartedly, Ryze starts off mana hungry, especially if you decide to be an utter pain in the *** on mid and harass them with spell flux. I usually counteract this by buying doran's ring. It's a fairly good starting item, as with most doran's items, just slows down building towards anything. Then because Ryze is among the number of slow people in the game, a major problem end game if you don't focus on getting him some speed. I usually go with teleport and ghost, helps get him back to base and into the fray quickly (or running if they gank you, though if they are smart you are there prime target.) It leaves you mana hungry for a bit, but fighting mid you most often do not need a ton of mana until 5-7 minutes in. By that time (if you're doing it right ), you can grab up sorcerer's shoes, and have enough for tear of goddess which will put you well on your way to being the worst BA on the field.
