Summons a dark and powerful Lich. The Lich is an undead entity that, when alive, possessed many dark powers of his own. Perhaps it was a dark wizard, or powerful arch villain. Perhaps it was even a Necromancer. Now it only hungers for the souls of the living, and is quite good at feeding itself. The Lich specializes in dark control and draining powers. You may only have 1 Lich under your control at any given time. If you attempt to summon another Lich, the power will fail.

You can extract the souls from your Undead Henchmen and summon their spectral essence to do your bidding. The power of each soul is dependent upon the type of undead Henchman you extract it from, however it will always be one level lower than you. Unlike your other Henchman, these extracted Souls are only loosely bound to your control and will quickly move on to the next world. These Souls cannot gain new powers with Enchanted Undead or Dark Empowerment. If a Soul's original body is defeated then the Soul will also be defeated. If you activate Soul Extraction again while a Soul is active, it will simply be replaced.

Necromancy SummonLitch.png Lich

Summons a dark and powerful Lich. The Lich is an undead entity that, when alive, possessed many dark powers of his own. Perhaps it was a dark wizard, or powerful arch villain.

You may only have 1 Lich under your control at any given time. If you attempt to summon another Lich, the power will fail.
