Name: Lesser Lich Rank: D+ Genus: Undead (Lich) Attribute: Undead Traits: Undead, Spellbound Dead (False)

Description:

Lesser Liches are the D-rank creatures' answer to the more famous Lich species. They only appear when an E-rank creature, undead or not, decides to walk the path of the Lich through the special item [Soul Jar] and possess the class [Spectermancer].

While a proper Lich requires [Necromancer], the Lesser Lich is sort of a "preview" race for those who cannot wait to obtain the Advance-tier class. Compared to the original Lich, the Lesser Lich is not that much of a threat to the living, but many of those who choose this race are not looking at the living with favorable eyes. Be prepared for a fight if you ever encounter one.

Appearance:

Lesser Liches have an appearance pretty close to what they had before evolving. In case an undead evolves into a Lesser Lich, then there is no big chance of their current state. The exception would be for ghosts, as they gain a more corporal body. Living beings would turn into a paler version of themselves, looking similar to a walking corpse.

Abilities:

Danger rank: D

Rarity rank: C+

Lesser Liches have especially strong Necromancy, plus they are granted the [Undead Element] skill upon evolution, allowing them to use nasty Undead-type skills. The latter also makes it obvious that one of the requirements for the living to use the [Soul Jar] is that they have not obtained 3 Element skills already.

While their magic and undead skills are strong, Lesser Liches are not so strong physically. The [Spellbound Dead] unique trait of the original Lich enhances magic, Necromancy, and even status ailments, but the Lesser Lich does not obtain all these gains. In fact, [Spellbound Dead] has the side-effect of making the Lich weaker physically. And [Spellbound Dead (False)] of the Lesser Lich has the same weakness at an even greater degree!

When facing one of these undead, one should prepare for a frontal assault and take the battle into close range before the Lesser Lich can call upon its undead goons.

Bloom's comment: No way... Master, are you really considering...?

Garami's comment: I already told you I am not. I already have my 3 Element skills, so I can't use the Jar even if I wanted to. Geez...
