Unlimited Spell Points w/Create Undead

[Urguwno]

I haven't seen posts about it, so I thought I'd ask the community about the synergy between Create Undead and items that have a chance to return spell points when you get hit by a melee attack.

1. Equip Transform Kinetic Energy and/or Concordant Opposition items.
2. Cast Create Undead to summon 3 low-level ghouls.
3. Wait until they break free and start to beat on you harmlessly.
4. Kill off the ghouls when you're back to full spell points.

This is significantly slower than:

1) Drink a Yugoloth Intelligence potion (this grants +2 Int, 1sp/tick regen, plus a debuff of 50% fortification)
2) Wait in a safe spot
3) Dispel the potion (from a wand) when you need to remove the fortification debuff

If only we could summon orthons.

Essence of Cunning: 10 sp/min
Summon VI + Torc, spell-cast: 130 sp/min
Create Undead + Torc, scroll-cast: 340 sp/min

Its tricky to get the Create Undead method started, because the monsters that break free have a tendency to be killed by the ones who are still loyal. But the 340 sp shown above was produced by the attacks of just two surviving undead.
