Quick Answer for Patch 26.20
Magic Missile
Gold
Dealing damage with an Ability fires 3 magic missiles, each dealing percent max Health true damage.
Why on Cassiopeia

Spellwake
Prismatic
Hitting enemies with Abilities creates a blast that deals magic damage from you to the location you hit them.
Why on Cassiopeia
Every Twin Fang (E) hit adds a blast between you and the target, and because you cast it so often the extra magic damage adds up fast.
2
Phenomenal Evil
Gold
Permanently gain 1 Ability Power when you hit an enemy with an Ability. If taken after round 4, gain 40 Ability Power.
Why on Cassiopeia
Twin Fang (E) lets you hit enemies with an Ability far more often than most mages, so you stack Ability Power quickly every round.
