Discord Channel
THE RITUAL OF BECOMING
The quest may be small but I tried to make it as immersive as possible, once you retrieve the artifact you will learn a new spell called "The Ritual of Becoming" that can assist you with the transformation however it is not that simple, you will also require a Phylactery and a number of Souls if you ever wish to ascend to the state of Lichdom.
The Lich transformation itself is based on the book from "TES IV: Oblivion" from which this mod takes it's name.
