Spectre Liches are undead archmages who rule over the City of Maebus. They are more powerful than normal Liches, as they are non-corporeal, appearing as blue phantasms of their former selves. They are rarely seen outside the city because it's latent power. To leave the city they are forced to enter their bodies and become baelorn.

Combat: The spectre lich, if forced into combat, will usually attack with spells from a long distance. If in a situation where it was unable to use their spells however they are more than capable of holding their own in battle.

The aura of magical power that surrounds a spectre lich is so potent that any enemy creature of less than 5 Hit Dice which sees it must save vs. spell or flee in terror for 5-20 (5d4) rounds
The chilling touch of a specter lich causes 1d10 points of damage and drains two life energy levels from the victim.
Spectre Liches themselves can only be struck by a +3 or greater magical weapons, or by beings having magical powers or 8 or more hit dice. Spectre Liches are immune to charm, cold based, death (and related), dsintegrate, electricity, enfreeblement, hold (and related), insanity, polymorph and sleep spells.
A spectre lich is able to employ spells just as it did in life with one exception. Within the city of Maebus a spectre lich does not require the use of spell components. They are also able to teleport three times per day within the confines of the magical city.

Habitat/Society: Spectre Liches were formerly great mages who have chosen to accept the task of becoming undead in order to acheive their positions as rulers of Maebus. When not in parlimentry sessions they usually spend most of their time spent in spell research and magical creation.

Ecology: Spectre Liches are undead creatures and do not eat or sleep. The magic in which they are made is complex and extremely powerful, requiring the aid of Cyrus, a mage of unmatched power who founded the city of Maebus centuries ago.
