Information
These Liches are spirits of dead mages. They have a Phantom form with a viable phantom form at level 30+. Appearance of viable form varies (according to player design and what species they were in life as called). Phantom form before becoming viable is invisible, but substantial enough to bear arms, and wear clothing or armor to give shape to their form. Viable form will dissipate into invisible form if HP falls to 6 or below. These Liches will haunt their former keep to maintain ownership or claim a keep they haunt by scaring off, or even killing off its occupants. Dormensa always reside over a castle or keep. Often, those whom served the mage in life will serve them as Dormensa after death, and it happens, though more rarely, that a Dormensa will serve a king or Lord they served in life.
Player Note: Players of Mages have the option of having their mage become a Dormensa after a second resurrection.
