lichbane is mostly about granting it's buyer a burst in early power relative to how frequently they can cast spells but doesn't scale particuarly very well.

a late game hard carry like karthus doesn't want to make this trade, instead you'll want to invest in items that will make your late game AP pool gigantic and scale well.
