Overview

The Abyssal Lich is a Lich who attunes with the necromantic magic of the Abyssal. She can apply everlasting curses to her enemies that make them explode on death for physical damage, absorb power for herself from offering up the souls of her skeletal minions or enemies, sacrifice energy shield to empower her spells, or consume power charges to create an Abyssal apparition that copies her spell. Crystalline Phylactery grants her an extra jewel socket with that gives the jewel enhanced power, for a price. Soulless Form gives Life/ES hybrid builds a new way to scale Mana regeneration, while Eternal Life freezes their Life value while having Energy Shield.]]
