Spellfire Sorcerer and Oath of Noble Genies seem really fun.

These guys absolutely ruined the movie Red One for me.

Accurate but I want bees.

Glad it’s not just me then.

Wait does magical darkness not block anything like line of site?

Outside of the immunity to Charm it was still a decent use of an action/ready action.

I think you could rule either way on if the zombies/lich would jump off a cliff after the gem, since the spell mentions that they specifically stare at and approach you (not the gem).

So you better jump off and cast feather fall.
