Lich Archmage Accepting Skilled Students.

[u/BlackMetalMagi]

I am known to the planes by names uncountable, unspeakable, and unknowable, here I have been called "Bone Pharaoh", so that name will do for you, my students.

As an Arcanist, and a scribe I have have a mastery of the schools of magic. This has had the old imperial title of Archwizard. The spells in my books are older than most in this day and age and have the propper names for spells with direct proper references to the 1st or 2nd edition copies of those ancient tomes.

For the elite students that want to learn from me, a few of the scrolls in my collection are 10th and 11th level transcendent magic for those that can see beyond the bounds of mortal magic. If you can cast such spells you can try to learn what goes into casting them, but be warned that few are willing to pay the cost that comes with them.

Now take a seat and a quill I will lecture and take questions as needed. Assignments will be graded by chance of survival when casting the spell you you inscribe. Good luck!

What, looking like you're from last millennium? Come on, get a grip on the times. Nobody worth their Library card lets all that useful volume go to waste, especially not in this age of precision casting.

Ah, you clearly haven’t been enlightened as to how dense one can pack power into a phylactery. Not to mention the might an entire lair filled with magical conduits and stores can field. One doesn’t need to change their form for power, beyond the initial ritual, when they can form all to empower them.

I doubt you even have a tower, focusing as you are on only yourself!

Yeah, well, let's say, I have a grenade launcher. Coincidentally, I do. Let's say I pop a shell over to the phylactery. Bam- no more lich. See the problem?

[u/Smil3Bro → u/Another-Ace-Alt-8270]

It would really be a shame for you, and laugh for me, when it bounces right off.

Manual detonation. Or I could just use stickies to have further control over the bomb. Point is, no phylactery equals no lich. And I haven't even mentioned the anti phylactery weaponry in circulation. So yeah, don't become a lich.
