Overview

The Abyssal Lich is a Lich that has absorbed the powers of the Well of Souls, gaining the undying power of the Abyssal, replacing some of its Ascendancy passives with alternates. Necromantic Conduit and Blackened Heart is replaced with Umbral Well, which replaces your Skeleton minions with different buffs, and Unwilling Offering, which allows you to use Offering skills on enemies to Cull them and grant its effect to yourself instead of minions. Price of Power is replaced with Steward of Kulemak, which consumes power charges to summon an apparition that casts the same spell you used. Rupture the Soul is replaced with Rupture the Flesh which makes cursed enemies explode for physical damage instead of chaos.
