If so, then having negative numbers is just how nature works there.cybernetichero said:
I thought about putting the deceased in a coffin of "thaumaturgic" iron covered inside and out with written wards. Your idea sounds cheaper but there is still the problems of people dying alone or in remote places and deliberate circumvention. The most magically adept and therefore the most likely to become liches after death would also be the ruling class and they don't like to be told what to do, especially with Aunt Gemima's remains.256bits said:

A lich is a powerful undead creature that was once a mortal spellcaster. They have achieved immortality by using dark magic to bind their souls to their undead bodies.
Liches are known to be powerful and dangerous beings. They often seek to expand their power and influence, and can cause chaos and destruction in their wake. Therefore, it is important to prevent them from becoming too numerous.
Liches do not reproduce in the traditional sense. They are created through a ritual that involves sacrificing a living creature and transferring the soul of the spellcaster into the undead body. This makes it difficult for liches to become numerous, as each one requires a specific and deliberate act to be created.
There are a few ways to prevent liches from becoming too numerous and powerful. One way is to actively hunt and destroy any liches that are discovered. Another way is to prevent the creation of new liches by stopping the ritual or preventing potential spellcasters from becoming powerful enough to attempt the transformation.
While liches are powerful and intelligent beings, their thirst for power and their undead nature make it difficult to control or negotiate with them. They are often driven by their own desires and goals, and will not easily submit to the will of others.
