Buy order
The usual order; adapt it to how the game goes
1. Early: boots
Arcane Boots for damage, Demon Shoes if you run out of mana in lane, Magic Shoes if your skills have long cooldowns.
2. First core item
Pick one to suit your style: Clock of Destiny (safe, mana), Lightning Truncheon (burst combos), Genius Wand (early damage), Enchanted Talisman (skill spam, good for support mages).
3. Power spike
Holy Crystal gives the most magic power and scales with level; usually your 3rd or 4th item.
4. Situational
Items 4 and 5 answer the enemy lineup: see the table below.
5. Survive
One defensive item late game, or earlier if you keep dying.
