If you can't (you need 2 death), give one or two of them empowerment up to 2 death. Revive a Bane, then repeatedly revive wights (shift-M). You could also research to level 4, empower to 3 death, and summon shade beasts too, but it's not necessary.

You would probably be be much better off to forge skull staffs, at a cost of only 10 death gems, rather than empowering at a much larger cost.

Also, empower your Skratti(s) to water 2 if you don't have one, and cast summon ice drake repeatedly with them.

Skratti come with water 2 already, so they don't need any enhancement for ice drakes.

When you have enough Nature gems empower a Skratti up to 3 (or you have a lucky Skratti with 3 nature already), and repeatedly summon pride of lions.

A Gygja with nature 2 would be a far better choice, since she can forge a thistle mace to bring herself to nature 3.
