Gradually creates an MP pool while your health slowly drains. Recasting it stops the effect and applies the stored MP to you. It's sort of like the DoT version of Convert, which fits Arcanist's theme. I would suggest that when an Egi de-spawns, a portion of its remaining health is transferred to the Summoner's MP. It wouldn't really be able to be abused under normal circumstances due to Egi summon cast times. Swiftcast would allow you to re-summon your Egi for a quick MP boost.
I like the sublimation idea a lot, however, I would like to see it be usable with all egi's so that we are not forced to use garuda every time we want to recover MP. And the MP boost on summon is a cool idea, but it kind of devalues our combat res because we have to use our swiftcast to get it.
