Undeath Classical Lichdom
Classical Lichdom is an expansion for Undeath that fixes multiple serious bugs and issues with the mod, while also offering a comprehensive but unobtrusive overhaul of the lich experience. It is a third-party update that seeks to provide the definitive Undeath experience.
The Ayleid Lich form is not supported on LE as it requires The Cause DLC.
Features
True Immortality - Death Alternative For Liches
Undeath's Dark Resurgence ability has been reworked and simplified, granting functional immortality once the player attains lichdom. When you die as a lich, you resurrect at your phylactery.
Lich Form Improvements - Access Spell Menu in Lich Form
You are no longer limited to a selection of 6 predetermined spells. Access the full spell menu in lich form by pressing your sneak key (default CTRL) to utilize your full arsenal of spells and decide your own playstyle. Spell change animation has also been sped up. Bound spells do not work in lich form because the dragon priest animations dont support them.
Favorites menu is accessible in lich form, although weapons remain unusable in the form. Keybind for favorites menu is set in mcm.
Pressing C in lich form allows you to reequip your staff, reequip death grip, or toggle between the two. (Key bindings customizable in mcm)
Lich form is now able to jump.
The Path Of Lichdom
Undeath abilities and passives have been entirely reworked. A lich has limitless magical horizons, but power comes at a price: while liches are spellcasters of unparalleled aptitude, they suffer the detrimental effects of being undead. After attaining lichdom, you receive the following abilities.
100% fire weakness
No passive health regeneration
Conventional healing spells do not heal you
Food and healing potions have no effect, while other potions have 50% reduced efficacy and duration.
Water Breathing/Disease/PoisonResist
50% Frost Resist
Transcendence: 25% Faster Experience Gain
Improved Physical Form: 15% melee resistance, 33% arrow resistance, excluding silver weapons
*You gain Transcendence after resurrecting at your phylactery 3 times.
Immediately gain access to the following spells after lichdom:
Ice Coffin: A spear of ice that deal 60 points to health and stamina. Targets are briefly encased in ice
Necrotic Rejuvenation: Heals the caster 12 points a second, if the caster is undead.
Sacrifice Thrall: Return a reanimated minion to death and heal for 25% of its health.
Poison Shroud: For 60 seconds, opponents in melee range take 8 points Poison damage per second.
Seed Of Pestilence: Afflict an undead target with a plague that spreads to living targets, doing 5 disease damage per second to health and stamina for 30 seconds.
True Sight: See what others cannot see. Vision in the dark is improved for 60 seconds.
Simple Phylactery Progression System
Classical Lichdom offers an intuitive progression system. Activate your phylactery to absorb filled black soul gems and empower your lich. Souls will unlock new abilities and incrementally improve existing abilities. You may feed up to 50 souls into your phylactery.
Magicka Flood(1): Gain 50 magicka. For each soul fed to your phylactery, gain an additional 4 magicka. Spells in lich form last 0.5% longer for each soul fed.

Enslave Undead: Put an undead creature of any level under your command for 45 seconds.

Once you unlock 25 souls, you may change the appearance of your lich at your phylactery. Customize the color of your lich, become a ghostly nether lich, or assume the form of a dragon priest or an Ayleid lich. 'The Cause' DLC from Anniversary Edition/Creation Club is required to take on an Ayleid lich form.
