Lich

Few creatures are more feared than the lich. The pinnacle of necromantic art, who has chosen to shed his life as a method to cheat death by becoming undead. While many who reach such heights of power stop at nothing to achieve immortality, the idea of becoming a lich is abhorrent to most creatures. The process involves the extraction of ones life-force and its imprisonment in a specially prepared phylactery. One gives up life, but in trapping life he also traps his death, and as long as his phylactery remains intact he can continue on in his research and work without fear of the passage of time. The quest to become a lich is a lengthy one. While construction of the magical phylactery to contain ones soul is a critical component, a prospective lich must also learn the secrets of transferring his soul into the receptacle and of preparing his body for the transformation into undeath, neither of which are simple tasks. Further complicating the ritual is the fact that no two bodies or souls are exactly alike, a ritual that works for one spellcaster might simply kill another or drive him insane. Please note that a Lich has all the advantages/disadvantages of being Undead.
