As you get better at landing skillshots you can slowly phase out the Athenes and just try getting blue buff mid to late game. If you can start building one of the major damage items (Zhonyas, Rabadons or DFG) right after you grab a Sheen you will find your damage much higher than if you start with a chalice. You have to land most of your skillshots though, and last hit with your auto attacks.

Late game your mana pool will be large enough to last you through a teamfight and a push so you won't have to watch your mana as much, and you can try getting blue as often as possible.

Don't forget about mana potions!
