Typically anything with 'Lord' in the name usually turns out to be less powerful than first imagined. Take 'Lord of the rings' for example and you think, "wow, lord of all rings, that must be powerful" "watch me mow down all those trolls with lightning bolts, watch me summon a giant elemental to fight for me" Oh yea, Lord of the rings.... then you find out it just make you invisible, or greedy, that it, big whoop, Not lord of the rings, lord of the flops!!!

Power of ring only answer to one master, not people who wear those... it's sort of like DNA computer won't answer to you unless your finger, your eye is match to computer system then it's allowed you to use computer or power...It's sort of useless to many that use or touch but not a owner but useful to one who are owners who had hold it... Normal, I don't know why some people in lord of ring so let ring control thier life and more importian to them than firendship and lovers...

Judging by how devastating darkling shamans and dark wizards are, the world would be far more deadly if the high HP mobs also had high lethality spells.

And I say, go for it!

Although there is no defense to pure damage death spells, like Despair, other than a high spell resistance (which only halves damage).
