Morello or Athene are fine choices, both have mana sustain and 20% cooldown reduction, but I would only choose Athene if your mid opponent doesn't sustain themselves with lifesteal or self-healing. Sometimes I go Lich Bane as first non-augment item : a bit of mana, percentage movement speed for more kiting with E and Q becomes much more powerful, even without having it Augmented.

Of course, the damage won't be too big at first, but as you take levels and buy Augmentations, it will be devastating in the end. The 20% cooldown from Morello/Athene comes in handy for this specific ability, leaving you to proc Lich Bane almost everytime it's up in a minimum amount of time.
