Talk:Elder Lich/@comment-147.229.196.5-20180817155458/@comment-32428067-20180817161555

Oh we got Demi-Lich as well if we follow the D&D like Overlord.. and also the various liches in WoW for instance.

But at a guess you are talking about Overlord, and in Overlord an Elder Lich is a spellcaster that keeps his mind in an undead body, i.e refusing to die really. Ainz himself started out as a lowly skeleton mage before advancing to Elder Lich. Eventually he became an Overlord and the WN also claims that he got 5 levels Demi-Lich which basically is just an Elder Lich that doesn´t need a physical body at all and got the ability to move himself and his followers thru other dimensions.
