Eye of Destruction will make landing Arcanopulse easier as the target will be slowed.
Advice to Understand How Karma Will Play
Don't be too conservative with Mantra. Gathering Fire is strongest in teamfights, making it easy to recharge Mantra multiple times.
Gathering Fire rewards aggressive play. Look to land abilities and basic attacks on your opponent to lower Mantra's cooldown and stay on the offensive.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Karma.

Is Xerath better when played alongside Karma?
There is no perfect champion pairing for Xerath that will always be his #1 ally. However, Karma is a not very good companion for Xerath. By locking into the same side as Xerath, she lowers their win rate by -1.1% to 49.5%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad bond between Xerath and Karma that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.
Karma has a much lower diffuclty than Xerath. That means Xerath players don't need to be very careful when finding Karma comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a much lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Playing alongside, Xerath players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magic damage. Combined, these champs can blast through enemies with magic damage.
Although, by bringing Xerath and Karma together, you will not be granting your side enough AD. We recommend you include other champions on your team that offsets this relative disparity in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of the skill of your Karma ally, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
