I don't agree that construction on skulls/lanterns should be swapped.

Yes, 9rp > 6rp, but skulls are twice the cose. 9rp for 10 gems = 0.9 rp/gem, while 6rp for 5 gems = 1.2 rp/gem. Unless you have a fantastic supply of otherwise-unused gems, you're better off putting your resources into lanterns.

And as Amahazir has pointed out, an occasional horror mark is not particularly problematic for small mages with small items.
Errm...however skulls are constuction 4, 360 research points, lanterns construction 6, 1,040 research points. The skull mentor will zoom ahead of you for some considerable time in research.

Thats one of the many reasons death magic is so great!
