I was thinking about this one, and if it makes sense to have drain as a skill, or a level based ability as it was before...It does seem rather innate in the nature of a Lich...Either that or making it skill up faster. Thoughts?

Either one of those suggestions would fix the problem. Although, I do agree that drain would fall more under a skill for a lich if anything. Which is why I assumed it was one in the first place! I don't think it would cause any major imbalances either -- but again, I haven't seen this in action yet.
