Never been totally clear on this. A lich is like, an undead wizard? A necromancer? Someone who does "black magic"? Please clear this up, god bless.

Something about putting their souls in a safety deposit box so they can't die I think.

So is Voldemort a lich? Thats exactly what he did.

Hello OP. A lich is a wizard who takes his soul and puts it in a jar, and now he can't die unless the jar is destroyed.

Hi Ragg! So that sounds like exactly what Voldemort did so i'm 90% sure Voldemort is literally a lich, which is weird because I swear they never used that word in ny of the Harry Potter books.

Sounds like JK Rowling is a hack whole stole liches from Gary Gygax without attribution, but I guess its not quite the same cuz voldemort split up his soul into different pieces. But its basically the same so yeah. He's basically a lich.

You raise an interesting point... So were litches actually first invented for Dungeons and Dragons? I thought all the monsters in that were traditional and existed in various folk traditions or whatever.

I just realized this song is exactly the opposite of everything liches stand for. Its good to not be a lich.
