Mage mana sustain items, how about this
What if we take
as core item for all mages since every mage need mana sustain:
#New Item A
* Recipe:
+
+ 215 (=1200)
* **Builds into: **
* New Item A +
= New Item B or
* New Item A +
= New Item C
Chalice of Harmony
* **Recipe:**  +  + 300 (=1300)
* **Builds into: **
*  +  = 
*  +  = New Item D
#
Tear of the Goddess
* Recipe:
+
+ 200 (=1000)
* Builds into:
*
+
= 
Since
becomes pretty expensive it might not be really suitable for a support part anymore and different to not overload the cdr. That's why I thought about this that would give better acces to the option:
+
+ 450 =
(=2500)
+ 350 (=2800)
