Perhaps it was even a Necromancer. Now it only hungers for the souls of the living, and is quite good at feeding itself. The Lich specializes in dark control and draining powers. You may only have one Lich under your control at any given time. If you attempt to summon another Lich, the power will fail.

Recharge:       Very Long
Minimum Level:  26 (Mastermind)
