+  * Dropped by the Lich boss in the Necropolis (Guts) level

+  * **Lich Transformation:** Allows becoming a [[rpd:lich_subclass|Lich]] if you manipulate the spell properly
+  * **Choice Point:** Presents a choice between becoming a [[rpd:lich_subclass|Lich]] or breaking the spell to get a regular [[rpd:black_skull_item|Black Skull]]
+==== The Lich Path ====
+When choosing to become a [[rpd:lich_subclass|Lich]]:
+  * **Benefits:** Pinnacle of necromantic abilities, enhanced necromancy
+  * **Drawbacks:** Reduced Strength (STR) by 2 points and doubled skill points capacity
+  * **Trade-off:** Power in necromancy but weakness in physical abilities
+  * Available only to the [[rpd:necromancer_class|Necromancer]] class
+==== Breaking the Spell ====
