Not the author's. The AP/magic penetration runes, Haunting Guise into Liandry's Torment, Sorcerer's Shoes, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Void Staff point to a 21 Offense mage page. The 9 Utility points support Flash uptime and mana sustain, matching the mana regen seals and early Chalice of Harmony. Inferred from the build and text they did publish.

Malefic VisionsE
Nether GraspR
  • Call of the Void (Q) takes points at levels 2, 8, 10, 12, 13.
  • Null Zone (W) takes points at levels 4, 14, 15, 17, 18.
  • Malefic Visions (E) takes points at levels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.
  • Nether Grasp (R) takes points at levels 6, 11, 16.

Not the author's. This maxes Malefic Visions first for lane control and sustained Liandry's-style damage, then Call of the Void for stronger poke and silence while leaving Null Zone for later teamfight scaling. Inferred from the build and text they did publish.

Notes

the author's own words

Malzahar: Staring at People was Never this Exciting — rated 9.2/10 from 80 votes on MOBAFire.

What the guide does not publish: the guide never fills in an ability sequence.
