- Gorge -

Affinity Passive: Gnaw's Blessing: Free Permanent clever Disguise effect minus the Bunnymen neutrality (so just Neutrality to frogs and merms, +the ability to trade with the merm king). +10% damage to Lunar and Shadow aligned entities.

1. Skill:  Gnaw's Gnawledge: No Sanity penalty to Using Wormholes, you're able to Map Soul Hop to Wormholes for halve the cost.

2. Skill:  Gnawing Gnaw: Soul hops now leave behind a projection of the Eternal Gnaw for 10s (on the floor), slowing and dealing damage to all enemies on top of it. only one Gnaw can be active at once.

i think teleporting on specific objects would be niche, maybe wortox could gain the ability to craft 1 singular permanent wormhole anywhere for anyone to use?

Forge -

Affinity Passive: Forge's Forgery: Halves your aggro range of pigmen, and you strike fear into them when you attack them (this is a AOE effect of 5 turf units from your location, and also gets canceled if the pigman gets attacked again) -10% damage from Lunar and Shadow aligned entities.

1. Skill:  Infernal Rule: your able to map teleport to the Pig King Or Merm King for Free.

2. Skill:  Forging Forge: once every 60s when you soul hop, you open a wormhole for that spawns 2 lesser pit pigs (these have 175 hp over 350) to fight for you. these pit pigs despawn after the 60 cooldown is over.

Maybe Wortox could instead gain access to forge weapons?

Mimic skills are so cool, they reveal more devilish nature of Wortox! 

Also teleporting things is pretty fun too.

 What's the point to revive enemies?

 

Also, I think Wortox should have some skills related to inventory. Having own Crampus Sack, for example. Maybe some skills should allow to store more souls/transport them to extra dimension when he wants to.
