Lord Phastum’s powers during the Overlords reign were vast and could rival anyones.
Aside from Immortality granted to him by The Overlord, he is greatly skilled in magic, namely death magic. He knew of the powers of the white makes but could never deflect them. He's arguably considered the most dangerous mage ever living.
Through his time studying the arts of magic he also learned of an object called Seeing Glass which allowed to him to see vast distances anywhere in the world.
His final power the strongest of all his might is fear itself. It inspires his own warlords and has caused heros to fall from grace into madness or under his will. This came after his time studying and eventually turning into this undead mage and when people gaze upon it’s true form is horrifying. However when in his truest form he's also his weakest which means he'll only be able to use dark magic.
Flaws
The weaknesses of the lich were few but can cause him serious damage. While sunlight will weaken his powers some he unlike others don’t get hurt and will merely be a nuisance to be him if that.
In his true form while it'll drive weak minded men to madness. Those that can with stand it will have an easier time destroying the lich.
What the hero's used to defeat him was the power of white magic which blinded and confused the lich. However he couldn’t have been killed as aside from the power of the overlords Immortality he also connected his soul to that of necklace hidden in a tomb.
Opinions on Other Black Lieutenants
He has an interested in all of his fellow LTs.
First there was Bastian the human King he felt hated by his people just as the lich was. While he has powers similar to the lich he’s a brute in practice and one that can be easily manipulated especially now seeing as though he was the first to fall
Next there was Ukdur the Brute who he disliked the most as he cared little for knowledge and only destruction though it has served purpose with fear in the past. Easily manipulated and can be a decent ally if needed.
The third to fall was Uaziezuhr and the Lich liked him very much. He mastered the dark arts, began a cult for the overlord and can command demons however he was too loyal and could never be an ally or if they did he would be tricky.
Next was the spider queen who was interesting she used music for power which many people do not think of. Even better she used spiders and like the lich himself was corrupted by darkness. He believes her to be useful. Though she can be annoyed easily.
Finally there was Skraal the dragon who is just another brute but is loyal to the overlord. His mistake is that he is easily weakened by the numerous spells the lich can used and weild.
Backstory
Lord Phastum is an ancient lich from long ago that no one but himself and Overlord knows of. If one could recall the Lich used to be called Jundal the White. He was the youngest of the white mages of his time. However while his colleges focused on their own research and staying away from mortals and interfering with the balance, Jundal left the order to help kingdoms who were hurt or dying. On his travels he met a fair maiden named Lily and they married shortly after. They continued to help the mortal lands as needed until his wife was taken from him. When he brought her to the White council for help they said nothing could be done. He did not believe that,
He knew the White Council disliked him for leaving the order,marrying and interfering with mortals. So he begun studying ancient forms of magic, dark things awaited him. He eventually found a way to bring back the dead. When he chanted the spell it worked and Lily was amongst the living but not alive. She had no color,no emotion and was mindless. This time he had to kill her and end the misery of his love.
He kept care of the tomb and continued studying looking for a way to save her, As the years past he learned more dark power that eventually corrupted him. Eventually he knew his time in the living was nearly over but rather than allowing his love remain alone he found a spell that could keep him tied to the world. This was the tipping point that ended any chance of redemption.
He tied his soul to that of the ring on Lily that she had when the married. Yet when the spell began he lost his soul,skin and other things that made him human except his mind. Which was retained in full. He now had a vendetta against the living and over the years built an army of undead from a mountain fortress in the cold darkness. While he also learned of new magic and spells that he can deflect and use. Eventually the darkness called for him and he answered.
The Darkness now known as the Overlord made the new mage his first Lieutenant and over the years he built an army with more knowledge granted to him while his master gathered followers. However he never had an intention of staying with the Overlord he planned on betraying. Yet there was no one willing to stand up for a long time so he continued researching and building.
Eventually some heros began a quest to slay the Overlord and at first he took no notice of them. It wasn’t until the Dark Lieutenants began to fall that he took notice. One by One they fell eventually he came to them with a deal. They spared him in return for the destruction of his lord. They accepted and he told them.
He waited and when the Overlord fell he wasn’t defeated so the Lich had to appear against the heros and be defeated. He the strongest and oldest of the Black LT’s and was never defeated but merely fled in a “weakened” state. He waited and rebuilt and army until the day his lord called for him.
