Lichcraft (Ench. 9) 5 and [10+5*size]
The caster dies and returns as an Undead, Immortal, Lich. Cannot be cast by a Plant, Undead, Inanimate, Demon, or Pretender. The caster also gains +1, up to a max of 10. The home province of the newly created Lich is set to where it cast the spell. One is added to the Death Counter, but no damage is actually done.

The specific form the new lich gains is determined by that of the original unit. The following is the basic template:

Sprite	Unit Name	Special Attributes
	Lich	+1 Fire Vulnerability (10) Cold Resistance (15) Poison Resistance (25) Invulnerability (20) Immortality Reform Time (1) Poor Amphibian Pierce Resistant Undead Inanimate Need Not Eat Spirit Sight
