Lich is an Action-Wizard card from Allies. It provides huge non-terminal draw, but at a steep price: every Lich you play makes you lose one of your future turns. If you get sick of having that in your deck, too bad—it also can't be permanently trashed!
It is part of a split pile that it shares with the other Wizards: Student, Conjurer, and Sorcerer.

Preview
And Lich comes back when you try to trash it, like a Fortress only not to your hand. Also Lich can uh skip your turn? Well maybe you aren't getting another turn anyway.
Secret History
Wording
"Skip a turn" means exactly what everyone will know it means despite having fun questions, and there's a rulebook. "Skip your next turn, but this is cumulative somehow okay" was not as good of a wording. As always cards try to avoid making players look in the rulebook, which they tend to absolutely never want to do.
Many people were consulted on the card wordings, in addition to how fun and balanced they were; this is the result. If I'd had better wordings for any cards they'd have them; if any card didn't seem worth the wording it would get, it didn't make it out.
