Build
Runes and masteries
Not the author's. This is a 21/0/9 AP assassin page for the author's Sorcerer's Shoes, Rabadon's Deathcap, Void Staff, Rod of Ages, and Seraph's Embrace build. Offense takes magic penetration, AP scaling, CDR, Archmage, and Executioner, while Utility adds mana and summoner cooldown value for a mana-stacking Kassadin. Inferred from the build and text they did publish.
Skill order

Not the author's. This maxes Null Sphere first for mid-lane silence and burst with Sorcerer's Shoes and early AP, then Force Pulse for fights once Kassadin has mana and AP from Rod of Ages and Seraph's Embrace. Inferred from the build and text they did publish.

What the guide does not publish: the guide shows its rune page as an image and never names the runes; the guide never fills in an ability sequence.
