description: Demiliches are formed when a lich, through carelessness or by accident,

loses its phylactery. As years pass, the lich's body crumbles to dust, leaving only
|
|
the skull as the seat of its necromantic power. The lich enters a sort of torpor,
|
|
its mind left wandering the planes in search of ever greater mysteries. The lich
|
|
gradually loses the ability to cast spells and its magic items slowly subsume into
|
|
its new form. Negative energy concentrates around the skull, causing some of its
|
|
bones and teeth to petrify with power and turn into blight crystals. The resulting
|
|
lich skull, embedded with arcane gemstones and suffused with palpably powerful magic,
|
|
forms a creature called a demilich.

- description: A demilich has gemstone eyes that glow when the demilich is active.
|
|
Each eye contains an 8th-level spell that targets one creature (usually one eye
|
|
has *maze* and the other *polar ray*). The demilich can Activate an eye. This
|
|
uses the number of spellcasting actions the spell requires, and also requires
|
|
command and envision components. When the demilich casts a spell from a gemstone
|
|
eye, that eye stops glowing for 1d4 rounds, during which time that eye's spell
|
|
can't be used. Occasionally, one or both of the two *demilich eye gems* can be
|
|
harvested from a destroyed demilich as magic items.
