You build Ryze mana. AP is no problem, but you shouldn't be going for it either.

It's like with bruisers: You build a combo of damage, health, and maybe some resistances, and life steal, attack speed, movement speed and such things are often "oh yeah, why not" stats. They benefit you, but it's (nearly) never the reason to buy an item. For some bruisers (like Shyvana, Irelia) switch damage and attack speed in the stats I mentioned.
