Liches need some new toys.
  • Option A: Liches gain a pseudo-font creation ability where for the cost of 90AP/105MP (~half a font / 3 instances of cultivate ground). They can create a Vortex of Undeath (30cp) on an open air square to gain summoning benefits on that square. The square will gain a description modifier and 3 unique props will appear - "Arcane Circle", "Eldritch Tomes" and an "Alter of Undeath". To maintain this vortex they must sacrifice a single pet every week (similar to font maintenance). Failure to do so will downgrade it 1 step a week (that needs to be repaired) and at 3 weeks it disperses completely. Can't be summoned on a font location / cant be overridden by a font creation (attempts get warning). All liches can use all vortexes(?)
  • Option B: On any Death Font Liches gain benefits to summoning.
The Summoning Benefits (obviously balancing them based on which suggestion above allows the benefits):
  • Canopic Jars - Phylactery marker cost is halved
  • Wisp Union - Wisps can be summoned like Brothers Bond with the chance to produce 1-4 per cast
  • Arisen - Skeletons / Zombies / Ghouls - No need to have a body to summon (like a graveyard)
  • Grisly Combination - Fossil / Necrophage are created as a free action (no ap) and only require 2 of each base pet
  • Willing Thrall - Wights summon cost drops from 20mp to 15mp
  • Scraps - Bone Trinket creation cost reduced by 1 ap
  • Eldritch Binding - Wraiths have their escape percentage chance halved (whatever it is).
Rationale: Liches being the only PMs without font making ability and having steep titan creation costs is a breath-long injustice that needs correcting.
