Never get ability power over mana on Ryze. You need the defences on most mana items to survive casting enough abilities to make your damage worthwhile. Pure mana also gives Ryze much more damage per gold spent with a full rotation of his abilities. Really, it gives more damage all the time since you're casting Overload so much more.
