Not all of Zoe's abilities scream "burst mage" when looking at them alone, but once you combine them and see how much damage she can do, her job as a mage is much more evident.
With her "W," Spell Thief, taking on the active ability of any Summoner Spell or item active that she picks up and her ultimate doing no damage on her own, it looks like the majority of her damage will come from her Paddle Star ability (Q). the ability does more damage based on how long it's been in flight, and the ability to redirect its trajectory allows Zoe to pull off some flashy snipes. Think of it like a Nidalee spear that can change its direction and you have a decent idea of how it works.
To see it in action when combined with her ultimate and the rest of her moves, check out the champion preview above from the League Twitter account. We can probably assume that the Veigar in this clip didn't have too much health or magic resistance built to protect him from Zoe's Paddle Star, but Zoe still seems more than capable of giving Veigar a taste of his own medicine.
