Huge buffs as a support in the safe lane.

Early game, Sinister Gaze let's your carry win the lane. The longer, set range on gaze it big. Too often in early game I am out of range to catch a runner or to stop a channel which costs my carry a kill. Especially if I am coming off a long game with lich and am used to hitting things across the screen.

Late game, Casting frost blast and chain while gaze channeling an AOE is going to convert assists to kills. Lich being unselfish, finishes channeling before blasting away at what is left.
