Why Arcane Comet
Anivia's **damage almost always comes with a stun or slow**, allowing for a much more **reliable hit** rate on Arcane Comet. She is also able to reduce the cooldown of Comet quite quickly with [E] and [R].

Why Manaflow Band
Manaflow Band is a great rune on mid laners who **stack multiple mana items** (Tear, RoA etc.), providing even more mana return.

Why Transcendence
Typical choice here for mid mages. CDR is always a great stat for trading and doing more damage.

Why Gathering Storm
Anivia is a champion who can very **easily stall the game** thanks to her [R] waveclear, and thus she can get some insane AP from forcing a stalled-out game.

WhyTriple Tonic
Perfect Timing allows you to get a cheaper Zhonya's after Archangel's + RoA giving you a massive mid-game. With Cosmic Insight your **Zhonya's cooldown will be down to 96s**.

WhyCosmic Insight
Cosmic Insight provides **a lot of defensive power** in the form of Summoner Cooldown and Item Cooldown for Zhonya's/Archangel's. If you'd prefer to accelerate your mid game item power-spike you can also take Magical Footwear here.
