I love the maelstroms, brilliant idea that could lead to many strategies (convert a monster the next wave is weak to, convert more than one monster to make them combo attack, etc.). And a nice change from the usual "fight mobs, than fight boss" trope. Also, adds a challenge: fighting several battles against multiple enemies in succession needs more planning and thinking than fighting a single boss battle.

I'm not as enthusiastic about the mausoleums. The idea is fine, but all your pictures look more like a dungeon entrance to me than anything else, really. Like, a subterranean donjon entrance you'd get in the diablo series.
I think it should have sides instead of being a "block". And why not a dome instead of a triangle or square ?

Have you looked at pictures of Saint Seiya gold saints' temples ? They come in varied shapes with the same set of common features, maybe you could find inspiration in that :)

A mausoleum is just a single room containing a coffin, so they're not meant to be big. If you check how they look on google or the SketchFab link I included, they're typically just a block with a triangular roof, and while I did see a few with domes, they didn't read as mausolea to me.

Apparently there's a generic-looking mausoleum in Cuphead: [LINK]

Oh my, i was totally off the mark indeed.

Those 2 are from buffy the vampire slayer, the second one is pretty interesting (it's a pyramid).

But, even when looking at those i feel like they'll lead to an underground dungeon. It appears the Diablo saga left quite the mark on my imagination, lol.

Interesting! The first one looks like what I'd imagine when I think of 'mausoleum', but after thinking about it a bit, the pyramid design seemed way more striking, so I ended up tweaking it some more and now it looks pretty similar to that second picture!
