Welcome to my first guide on MobaFire! I'm MTG The Pod and before I go any further I ask that you try the build out before rating, nothing is more frustrating than people down voting a build without trying it. A few things I should mention before I go any further with the build.
You are not a tank, don't play Brand if you want to take a lot of damage
Expect to be targeted first!
Don't be afraid to experiment with different items!
People are going to cry about Brand being overpowered, ignore them.
Don't be afraid to give me constructive criticism I'm human I can miss stuff too.
Most importantly have fun with it, League of Legends is just a game after all

Phew now that all the boring stuff is over with lets continue.

Greater Mark of Insight x9
Cost: 3690 IP (410 IP)

Magic Penetration: +8.55

Tip: I find that the Magic Pen is the best route to go with any AP caster, considering most tanks tend to build a Force of Nature first and that lowers your damage by a huge chunk.


Greater Seal of Clarity x9
Cost: 1845 IP (205 IP)

Mana Regen per 5 sec: +10.53 (0.585 per level)

Tip: Mana is a huge problem for Brand until you get your Archangel Staff you're going to be starving these runes definitely help.


Greater Glyph of Force x9
Cost: 1845 IP (410 IP)

Ability Power: +27.54 (+1.53 per level)

Tip: AP is good, let's move on.


Greater Quintessence of Fortitude x3
Cost: 6150 IP (2050 IP)

Health: +78

Tip: You can go AP quints but I don't think that they are necessary Brands damage output is crazy as it is. I like the extra survivability more than the little bit of movement speed as well.
