Vengeful and Underlord naturally make for a strong lane as they are Melee/Ranged and have powerful early game spells. Magic Missile is both a great set up and follow up for Pit of Malice in order to trigger a second root and Nether Swap can be used to swap targets into it. Both Atrophy Aura and Wave of Terror reduce attack damage, making it an absolute nightmare for most right-clickers, especially stats stacking ones, to output significant damage.

A core Boots upgrade to gain HP sustain and improve your movement speed to get into better positions and initiate fights or save allies with your spells.
An upgrade for Tranquil Boots to improve your impact in teamfights with movement speed and attack speed auras. The Endurance active makes your team unslowable for a while to chase or run away from enemy heroes. Make sure to use a charge before dying as you cannot use it with the Aghanim's Scepter illusion.
A core item to play fearlessly and set up kills on the map with your spells as you spawn an illusion on death that can still use all your spells to maintain your impact in teamfights. The illusion has separate cooldowns from your hero but cannot use items. Make sure to use the actives on your items before your hero dies.
A core item that lets Magic Missile bounce and hit a second target. Massively improves your damage and control in teamfights. Has great synergy with all the Magic Missile talents.
A core mobility item to instantly close the gap on enemy heroes and lock them down with Magic Missile. Also lets you get in position to Nether Swap either an enemy or an ally and bring them to a desired spot.
A late game pick up that maintains your save potential and kill threat on the map more often by reducing the cooldown of all your spells and items. Also lowers the spell cooldowns on your Aghanims Scepter illusion.
