Unlock the full potential of your new Lich powers from Classical Lichdom with
Prelude to Purgatory!
What is Prelude to Purgatory?

Prelude to Purgatory is an addon for Undeath - Classical Lichdom that provides the player with a brand new custom skill tree. This skill tree comes with 12 new perks, hoping to carve out a unique niche for liches.

How does leveling work, and how do I access the Perk Tree?

The answer is, as intuitively as possible. Whenever you capture a soul or have a creature die near you, you gain experience based on its level. You can open the skill tree by pressing "Tab" while in Lich Form.

What perks does this add exactly?

Entry
  • Magicka Weave
    Gain 50 Magicka and 25% Magicka Regeneration, doubled in Lich form.
  • Mirror Weave
    Your weave protects you against enemy spell casts, granting you 25% Magic Resist, and occasionally retaliating against enemy spells.
  • Hardened Weave
    Your weave increases your armor by 150, and converts incoming physical damage to Magicka damage, while the Weave is active.
  • Supreme Weave
    Gain 50% Magicka Regeneration, doubled in Lich form.
  • Transcendence
    Gain 25% more experience in Lich form, your Lich form is no longer hated and feared, and your mortal form can be vampiric.

Necromancer
  • Frozen Cadavers
    You may control an additional summoned or reanimated undead. Nearby allied reanimated undead gain 150 Armor and 10% Magic resist, and are empowered when struck by Frost spells.
  • One Body
    If you would take physical damage, it is first mitigated among your commanded reanimated undead.
  • Join the March
    If an enemy would die within 3 seconds of receiving physical damage from an allied reanimated undead, it is revived under that undead's control.

Lich's Powers
  • Reconstruct Form
    You are now able to change your Lich's appearance. Necrotic Rejuvination is 200% stronger.
  • Wraithform
    Grants the "Wraith Form" power in Lich fom. At will, become Ethereal and absorb the essence of fallen creatures, regaining 50 Health, Magicka, and Stamina when a creature dies.
  • Peer Beyond
    You see what others cannot, granting you the "Lich Sight" ability.
  • Spirit of Midnight
    Grants the "Spirit of Midnight" spell. At will, summon a spirit of midnight to aid you in combat until it is slain.




Requirements and runtimes:
1. Skyrim SE version 1.6.1130+
2. Skyrim Script Extender
3. Address Library for SKSE Plugins
4. Custom Skills Framework
5. Undeath Remastered
6. Classical Lichdom

A note on the Address Library:
This mod needs the All in one Address Library (Anniversary Edition) version, regardless of whether or not you have purchased the AE DLC.

A note on runtime:
As stated above, this requires Skyrim SE version 1.6.1130+, sometimes called Skyrim AE. Please do not ask me to support older versions, I don't want to have multiple Skyrim installations.

Compatibility

This mod is incompatible with any mod that edits any of the following classical lichdom/undeath scripts:
  • necrolichtransformscript
  • necroreverteffectscript
  • necrouclphylacterysoulscript

This includes my own mod, Classical Lichdom - Vampiric Lich. No need to worry though, my werepyre lich loving friend - the perk Reconstruct Form basically does what that mod does. You just need to work for it.
Ascension is compatible with my OWN patch, NOT the third party one.

Load Order
Load directly after Classical Lichdom. The patch for Ascension should load after, and overwrite the loose files of, Ascension.
