Mystic Siphon: Increase magicka restore to be higher than the cost.

Sinolai

This skill requires corpse to target and deals good amount of damage around the corpse and between the corpse and your character. The skill costs ~3100 magicka and restores ~2800 magicka over 12 seconds. If the leash is cut early damage and magicka restore stops.
While this is not completely useless skill, the morph effect is not very special. Basically it just reduces the skill cost to 300 magicka, providing you can keep it up the whole 12 seconds.

I'd suggest increasing the magicka restore to ~4100 magicka over 12 seconds so Magicka necros would not only do damage with this but they would also restore some resources if they can keep it up for the full duration, which would be much greater reward and help with magicka necromancer's poor sustain. In addition to that, NecroTank could also use it for extra magicka recovery. Tank would have Mortal Coil for Health and Stamina recovery and Mystic Siphon for magicka recovery.

Just cut the cost on the default skill.

Well yeah, that would work too.

Just make the skill free, the cost of having a corpse is already high enough.

Siphon actually hitting bosses in Sunspire would be pretty neat too.

It is supposed to be a damage dealing skill in the first place, so they can't just make it free but it should be restoring waaaay more resources for the cost of it. Right now it's pointless to use for sustain. They should just change it to the equivalent of the stam morph where it detonates at the end or applies magicsteal to enemies instead.

Either reduce the cost and keep the corpse mechanic or make it apply to target.

Personally I think either of the magicka/stamina restore tethers shouldn't require a corpse to use but instead be empowered if there is a corpse... also make activating the skill not required looking at the corpse
