With Malady and Spellsword, Varus can deal 40% of his AP with every auto attack. With 500 AP, (normal for any Mage around mid-late game), Varus will deal 200 bonus magic damage with every auto attack, being on par with AD carries in terms of damage over hit and attack speed. The lack of critical strikes is compensated by the immense damage your Q, E and R (especially R) deal when you have stacked your Blight.
