Lich is an Ascendancy class for the Witch.
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.
