Create Lich

The bearer of the sickle can choose to animate a Lich instead of an  normal undead.  In order to animate a Lich, the Bearer must use the container and summon a soul into the container. After this is accomplished, the soul must bond with the container, which will become the Lich's Phylactery, over a period of three days.  after this point, any dead or undead flesh touched by the person holding the phylactery will become a Lich.  If a specified soul is summoned, the Lich's flesh must be that person's remains.  Instilling a soul into a body other than it's own may cause the Lich to seek revenge upon the caster for failing to return its soul to the proper body.  Once instilled into a body, the lich is under the full command of the one that merged body and soul for 24 hours.  After this time, the Lich will regain its free will.  destroying the container, or using the Sickle to cast Animate Dead at any point before merging the Lich's soul with a body will cause the spell to automatically fail, releasing a ghost which will immediately attack the Bearer and their party.  For seven days after the Lich's soul is merged or released, the Sickle will be unable to cast Animate Dead.
