No, I mean expecting the staff of WotC that works on D&D to rewrite Magic the Gathering lore in order to make a reviewer happy is absurd.
They work for the same company. They aren't going to destroy one brand in order to satisfy a poster on ENWorld.
Oh, I see the misunderstanding. I wasn't asking WotC to rewrite the lore. I was asking them to come up with more interesting monster abilities for their casters. I offered one example that apparently didn't fit the lore, despite the fact that both the lore and the ability support summoning a bunch of ghost-warriors to fight.
So, let's talk a few others:
Professional Educator: This creature has two bonus actions per turn, and may use one bonus action per turn to use the Help action on a creature of its choice within 30 feet.
There's Always Precedent: The Lorehold professor is never without historical examples to guide their actions. They receive a +1d4 to all ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws.
Spirit Statues: A Lorehold professor can ask spirits to animate statues and help defend them. As a bonus action once per day, the Lorehold professor can summon a
stone golem (as per the
Monster Manual).
Living History: Once per day, a Lorehold professor may channel knowledge from a long-dead spirit, giving them access to a higher level spell. The professor can cast one of the following:
disintegrate, prismatic spray, delayed blast fireball.
And this is just me spitballing, but I find it much more interesting than "hit with scroll greatclub and knock them prone."
Also - how does the scroll greatclub fit into the lore again? I must have missed that response.
