Under the influence of the Endless Night Ritual, the Lich has far more control over the energy of death than any other creature, and any spell they release will be accompanied by extremely strong death energy.

This is the characteristic of the lich itself, and no matter how powerful the lich is, it cannot change this inherent characteristic.

The erosion of death energy can undoubtedly be used to the extreme in some of the spells cast by the lich, and the effect produced is far from being achieved by creatures other than the lich.

With the corrosive effect of death energy, any spell cast by the lich can cause a strong corrosive effect, and there is no way for low-ranking creatures who have not mastered spiritualism to resist the corrosive effect of it.

However, at some point, this energy of death attached to the spell actually restricts the lich itself.

After the transformation of the Endless Night Ritual, for those lichs who were not good at casting spells and were good at controlling undead creatures, this incidental ability to death energy undoubtedly greatly improved their spell-casting ability.

Even if it's just a basic cloud of death, once cast by a lich, the damage it can do is far beyond the limits of what an ordinary necromancer can achieve, not to mention that the lich can add the corrosive properties of death energy to any spell it cast, in addition to the cloud of death.

For those necromancers who are already extremely good at spells, after becoming a lich through the transformation of the Endless Night Ritual, the forced addition of death energy has destroyed their original spellcasting system.

The original properties of the spells cast by the lich will be suppressed to a very low level, and the only thing left is the highly corrosive death energy.

Due to this characteristic of the Lich itself, the addition of death energy to the casting of spells cannot be determined by the Lich itself, as long as it undergoes the Endless Night Ritual, this cannot be changed.

No matter what kind of spell it is, after being cast by the lich, only the original corrosive effect of death energy remains, but the characteristics of the spell itself.

This may not be obvious in some spells, such as spatial spells, but this is especially evident in damage spells.

And this is also an important reason why Rhodes doesn't want Rowling and himself to choose to work as a lich.

In Rod's view, transforming himself into a lich through the Endless Night Ritual meant that the necromancer had completely given up the ability to cast all kinds of spells, leaving only the purest spells related to death energy, and instead focused his strength on the accumulation of undead creatures.

Even if the lich who has been promoted through the Endless Night Ritual has not lost the ability to cast various types of spells, the real effect of the spells is only equivalent to an enhanced version of the Cloud of Death.

It was this that made Rhodes reluctant to eventually be promoted to the rank of Lich through the Ritual of the Endless Night.

Whether it was the experience gained in his previous life or a series of previous experiences, Rod was clearly aware of the powerful effects of spells.

In Rod's eyes, it is no exaggeration to say that those legendary mages existing in Bracada, after mastering various powerful fifth-order spells, just looking at the strength they have, they are enough to compare to a legion that has experienced a hundred battles.

It is only under the effect of a special artifact such as the forbidden magic ball that it will be difficult for the strength of these legendary mages to exert themselves, and if they are replaced by another artifact, perhaps the whole battle will be calmed down under the spell of these mages before it breaks out.

Since he had long known the powerful effects that spells could produce, Rhodes was naturally reluctant to give up his spell-casting ability in this situation.

In Rod's opinion, the changes to his spellcasting system brought about by his promotion to the Lich were really difficult for him to accept.

No matter which kind of spell is cast, the final effect is no different from the Cloud of Death, and it is impossible for any mage to accept it easily, let alone Rhodes at this time.

As for his ability to cast spells, Rhodes had made an assessment of his ability to cast spells long before he arrived at the Death Wasteland.

In Rhodes's opinion, whether it is compared with the players in this period in his previous life, or compared with himself who used to be at this level, the spell casting ability he has mastered at present has surpassed too much.

At this time, among the various spells that Rhodes mastered, there was the existence of the real fifth-order spell of Meteor Fire Rain. Rhodes was able to grasp it, and he needed to credit it to the Forbidden Orb fragment in his hand. In this regard, even a true high-level mage may not be able to compare with Rhodes.

Because of this, in Rhode's opinion, even if his own strength is improved again, his spell-casting ability is still an extremely important part of his overall ability, and he can't easily give it up.

Once he transforms himself into a lich through the Endless Night Ritual, under the effect of death energy, all these spells will undoubtedly lose their original effect.

The long lifespan of the lich gives them enough time to conduct spell research, but it is obviously not such a good thing, and the ability to cast spells that is not weaker than that of orthodox mages of the same rank is that of being able to accumulate huge undead creatures

From the very beginning of the Endless Night Ritual, the Lich lost the ability to cast spells in its entirety, and the only spells that could be cast were under the influence of the energy of death.

In addition to himself, what Rhodes also needs to consider is naturally Rowling's existence.

Before that, Rhodes was aware of Rowling's unique talent for spellcasting.

Perhaps it is the identity of a natural hero, the additional blessings brought to Rowling, or the potential that Rowling herself has, in Rod's opinion, if she can become an orthodox mage, in addition to the casting of spells, Rowling's final achievements are obviously more than that of Rod himself.

It is precisely because of this that in Rod's opinion, once Rowling finally chooses to advance to the Lich, it is equivalent to completely giving up her unique potential for spell casting, so Rowling's advancement is even less cost-effective.

Because of this, what Rhodes has always considered is the rank that Rowling should choose for the next advancement.

Fortunately, at this time, after previous analysis of the intelligence, Rhodes had realized that the information about the path that Rowling could choose, the path to rank other than the Lich, existed in Sandru.
