Lich Archmage Accepting Skilled Students. Lorepost (open interaction)

Post image

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!

For a being so powerful, what do you seek? and what is your ultimate goal?

Goals are for those that lack joy in repetitive action.

What are repetitive actions if not for achieving goals ?

When one has become a Lich all that IS becomes actionable possibility and outcome.

Will you feel any different? No. Will it be awesome? YES!!!! Actions are the goal unto themselves.

Magic takes rote actions and relearning all you know over and over each day because of how memory works. You talk about power, but those with power are too preoccupied with all that fills the time in a day.

I have 20 hours a day I work and study. 4 hours meditate in my sarcophagus. I have watched countless smarter philosophers than you be born, gorw old, and die, all in the time I wait for a crystal to grow for the spell that I use to keep my books from ageing.

(Books I might add, that have more beauty in the raw encapsulation of the magical word than you will ever be able to comprehend in 1000 lifetimes of study.)

Well, you know your stuff o'wise Lich

This guy lacks the intelligent to understand anything you have said

I will leave you to it then. I hope I can come back one day when I am worthy of your apprenticeship.
