Introduction
Spell Vamp Ryze
Ryze is a high burst damage character with a large mana pool. I play Ryze as my main and this is the build I use. What makes this build unique is that I include the

CDR
Cooldown Reduction is capped at 40% and should be Ryze’s #1 priority. By increasing CDR you increase the frequency of your burst damage. Also once CDR and

I obtain 40% CDR as follows:

Ryze deals massive amounts of magic damage.

Fortify because keeping the towers up on the smaller map is of the utmost importance.

On the 5v5 map I get


Blue Glyphs have the highest CDR stats of all the runes and the highest mana/level. To reach the CDR cap I recommend getting 1% CDR from runes.
