I tend to start flask, ward and pot nowadays. I would go Faerie Charm, wards and pots, as I do on most mages, but I don't actually find Viktor has any significant mana issues past early game, even without his Augment: Gravity (naturally, I build Death), so I don't build anything out of the Charm, while flask covers my early-game mana needs. Boots and pots is also perfectly viable, but I just like having at least one ward in case of early ganks. Doran's is a perfectly good early-game item on Viktor due to how easy it is to farm with his E, but I'd never get it as a starter, you lose too much sustain. I guess if you were really good at zoning you could risk it, but I prefer the safer course.
