Requirements Your most recent action was to cast a non-cantrip necromancy spell

Drain Bonded Item (arcane) — Frequency once per day

WORKS WELL WITH

AnvilLANDA durable undead frontline holds the line while this caster buffs it from behind and feeds when the moment allows.
CrasherLANDA hard-hitting undead ally benefits from the residual power this undead spellcaster channels into it after casting.
ShadeLANDA stealthy ambusher pairs with this undead caster's own deception and mobility to threaten targets from multiple angles.

PUNISHES

✖ low Will✖ isolated allies✖ sustained melee without support
Avoid pairing with another primary spellcaster; both compete for the same priority-target window and action economy.
