I am a midlaner who plays solely mages, and I do not have any more emotional capacity to play bot lane as my secondary role. So I was thinking about giving a try to top lane, and I know that its super match up specific, and its a fully isolated island, and I was thinking about taking a mage there who can be useful for the team in fights both with utility and damage to neutralise the enemy team top champ. And Morgana is the most appealing choice for me.

So I am looking for the ideas and thoughts on the runes and build. Would Aery be better than DFT? Is mandate an important pick? How useful Liandrys? Will TP be better for map pressure than combat spell? Overall I am looking for any thoughts on the matter.

One of the prettiest icons in the game, very nice to see it back so soon.
