Blueprint for a Lich

Blueprint For A Lich - Vampire’s Blood, Belladonna & A Virgin’s Heart Well Simmered

by Len Lakofka

Preparation for Lichdom occurs while the figure is still alive and must be completed before his first “death.” If he dies somewhere along the line and is resurrected, then he must start all over again. The lich needs these spells. Magic Jar, Trap the Soul, and Enchant an Item, plus a special potion and something to “jar” into.

The item into which the lich will “jar” is prepared by having Enchant an Item cast upon it. The item cannot be of the common variety, but must be of high quality, solid, and of at least 2,000 gold pieces in value. The item must make a saving throw as if it were the person casting the spell. (A cleric would have to have the spell Enchant an Item and Magic Jar thrown for him and it is the contracted magic user’s level that would be used for the saving throw.) The item can contain prior magics, but wooden items are not acceptable.

Preparing the body of the living figure is done via a potion. The potion is difficult to make and time consuming. It requires these items;

A. 2 pinches of pure arsenic

B. 1 pinch of belladonna

C. 1 measure of fresh phase spider venom (under 30 days old)

D. 1 measure of fresh wyvern venom (under 60 days old)

E. The blood of a dead humanoid infant killed by a phase spider

F. The blood of a dead humanoid infant killed by a mixture of arsenic

and belladonna

G. The heart of a virgin humanoid killed by wyvern venom

H. 1 quart of blood from a vampire or a person infected with vampirism

I. The ground reproductive glands of 7 giant moths (head for less than

60 days)

The items are mixed in the order given by the light of a full moon. Obtained by Suspicious Activity
