Overview
The Lich is a class who has become one with death, unlocking the potential to acquire great power at a price. She can apply everlasting curses to her enemies that make them explode on death, grant herself and her minions Unholy Might as long as she can prevent her Mana from running low, or empower her spells by consuming power charges or sacrificing energy shield. 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.

Chaos Damage
Chaos damage is one of the five damage types. It can be mitigated by chaos resistance. Chaos damage has the effect of removing twice as much energy shield when dealing damage.
Chaos damage over time is usually inflicted by poison or other debuffs.
Mechanics
Chaos damage is somewhat rarer than the other damage types, and is more often seen as damage over time rather than hit damage. It is stronger against energy shield, but a character with Chaos Inoculation is completely immune to chaos damage.
Chaos damage is usually used alongside Withered, a stacking debuff that increases chaos damage taken.
