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.

Sunset Shimmer attacked you with a Frozen Gauntlet and hit for 62 points of holy damage. She was hiding! This attack was charged with righteous wrath! Their body strained with holy resolve as they added physical power to this attack! (2021-11-22)
