Tips to maximize your impact

Start with Light Binding
Start with Light Binding (Q), then Lucent Singularity (E) and Final Spark (R) before detonating the singularity: the root makes sure everything hits.
Weave an auto between spells
Slip in an auto after each spell that hits: it triggers Illumination (passive) for extra magic damage, and Final Spark (R) triggers it too.
Light up brush with your E
Cast Lucent Singularity (E) into a brush before walking in: the area is revealed, and a hidden enemy would be slowed.
Shield your allies twice
Cast Prismatic Barrier (W) through as many allies as you can: the wand shields them on the way out, then again on the way back.
Use your R often
Cast Final Spark (R) to clear a wave or secure an objective: it only has a 60 to 40 second cooldown, depending on rank.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Bandage Toss (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and it's his only spell to reach you.
Step up after both bandages
Step up when both charges of Bandage Toss (Q) are gone: he can't reach you again until a charge comes back.
Spread out from your allies
When he has Curse of the Sad Mummy (R), spread out from your allies in teamfights: the spell stuns every enemy around him.
Ward the way into your lane
Ward the path between his jungle and your lane: Bandage Toss (Q) brings him onto you from range, and he has two charges to catch you.
