The lich seems to originate in the early 20th century without any clear ties to older mythology. If a powerful magician has cheated in mytheia, he did it while still alive. The lich is also not an animated corpse, so the idea of spell casting undead husk seems to originate works of people such as Clark Ashton. Sauron from The Lord of the Rings series by J. R. R.
