Benkovic's Notes on Lichdom II

Book

This set of collected papers is written in Common and continues the notes of Professor Benkovic on the process of achieving lichdom. A key passage reads as follows:

On the matter of Phylacteries
The phylactery is simultaneously the source of the lich's greatest power and its greatest, indeed its only significant physical weakness. Any independent lich should take pains to ensure its phylactery is kept secure at all times. Though not strictly necessary, the transition from mortal to lich is more easily achieved if the item which will store the transformee's soul (ie, the phylactery) is something with which they are familiar. This is particularly the case in Rituals of Becoming that are performed by a party other than the one undergoing transformation.
