Arcane Comet
Damaging a champion with an ability hurls a comet at their location, or, if Arcane Comet is on cooldown, reduces its remaining cooldown.
Adaptive Damage : 30 - 130 based on level (+0.05 AP and+0.1 bonus AD )
Cooldown: 20 - 8s
Cooldown Reduction:
Single Target: 20%.
Area of Effect: 10%.
Damage over Time: 5%.Why?
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].
Manaflow Band
Hitting an enemy champion with an ability permanently increases your maximum mana by 25, up to 250 mana.
After reaching 250 bonus mana, restore 1% of your missing mana every 5 seconds.
Cooldown: 15 secondsWhy?
Manaflow Band is a great rune on mid laners who **stack multiple mana items** (Tear, RoA etc.), providing even more mana return.
Transcendence

Level 5: +5Ability Haste
Level 8: +5Ability Haste
Level 11: On Champion takedown, reduce the remaining cooldown of basic abilities by 20%.Why?

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.
