The Lich

A Lich is a powerful undead sorcerer or wizard who has transformed themselves into an undead being to attain immortality and preserve their magical knowledge. Typically, they create a special magical phylactery where their soul is stored, allowing them to regenerate even if their physical body is destroyed. Liches are often depicted as cunning, menacing figures with potent dark magic abilities, and they serve as formidable enemies or dark masters in fantasy settings. Their undead nature and obsession with power make them enduring threats within fictional worlds.
