#demilich

[gavamont]

There’s liches, and lesser known is the demi-lich, which is a lich at lower power that is only a skull, but I have found it can go farther. I found a hemi-demi-semi-lich that was just a floating tooth that was feebly stabbing me with the root end of the tooth trying to draw some blood and life force.

It was honestly pretty sad to see, so I sharpened the tooth a bit and fed it some squirrels’ life force I had lying around. It immediately was able to gather a few more teeth together and might well gather a jaw soon if it can keep the momentum going, so I consider that my good deed for the holiday season that I’m sure will have no negative consequences.

On the left is the Will o Wisp, a 1 foot (30 cm) ball of spongey stuff, that mostly appears as a hazy ball of light! Comes in any color, and has shocks and invisibility if that's your fancy.

On the right is the demilich, a lich without a body. Deadly, but it can't even cast most spells anymore unless its done a lot of enchanting prep. So it's just a flying skull. Pretty gems, but don't touch them, they'll eat your soul.

It's a flaming skull, it's gotta be hot pink!

The other sides are not so exciting.

⚔️ Demilich enemy token on Patreon

A demilich is formed when it loses its soul cage (or phylactery). With the passing of time the lich's body starts to erode leaving nothing but the skull. Even if it stil has necromantic powers that transformed into blight crystals due to their concentration, the demilich cannot cast spells (only innate spells). You can surmise that a demilich is a sorcerer that failed their ritual of undeath and became an almost-lich. They don't know at the beginning, of course, only time will tell if they were successful in their quest for power and immortality or if their bodies will crumble to dust leaving only their heads. Nobody knows for certain if the demilich is permanently gone from this world once you destroy the skull. Some say that the bonds with this world were severed thus it cannot come back to this plane, but others ponder if a demilich would reappear in a distant future, because the body was destroyed, not the lost and forgotten soul.

demilich - nespithe (cassette, 1993)

Been thinking about the hemi-demi-semi-lich I encountered last holiday season since it’s rolling back around. I technically did watch it regain its strength and then killed with using a bathtub of Coca-Cola, but maybe it’s still around. Hard to say really…
