Mid Item Build & Spells
TIPS: Start your build with 
Amplifying Tome. Next, you should pay attention to whether your mobility champion is enough, our further actions will depend on this. If it is hard for you to dodge the enemy's skills or you want to roam on neighboring lines, then it is better to buy 
Boots of Speed at an early stage.

2200Spellslinger's Shoes TIPS: These boots greatly increase your magic damage through a combination of Ability Power and both flat and percentage magic penetration. The high mana regeneration allows for frequent spell casting, while the bonus true damage to minions significantly improves wave clear. Champions without Mana instead gain increased health regeneration. They are an excellent choice for mages and AP supports who value strong damage, constant lane pressure, and efficient farming.TIPS: Finally, for your items, you should build Lich Bane (Attacks deal bonus damage aster ability casts) as your first item, followed by Boots of Mana (Grants Ability Power, Magic Penetration and Mana Regeneration) (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Infinity Orb (Abilities deal bonus damage).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in Spellslinger's Shoes (Deal bonus damage to minions).
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.
