Ignore what Phreak says in the spotlight about taking Astral Blessing first on support Soraka. You don't want healing to be the only thing you can do early on because that suggests the only situation you're preparing for is you or your lane partner taking damage. Start with Infuse- it is a potent ranged harass which is also a CC (more valuable than a tiny heal and AR buff in a level 1 teamfight) and can be used on your lane partner to allow them to use their starting skill freely without worrying about running out of mana early on. Take Astral Blessing as your level 2 skill instead.
