That is a completely separate issue that I hope does not derail the intended purpose of this thread. For what it's worth I have no problem whatsoever with Liches recovering spell-casting ST every turn: it is a clearly stated supernatural power of this particular being, and could be explained in any number of 'fantasy game logic' ways (or left mysterious).

What I am commenting on is something completely different and simpler: we have a set of clear rules explaining how various beings, like powerful human magicians and liches, are supposed to 'work' in the game, but then the one example we have of a powerful human mage who turns into a lich doesn't look like he was made using those rules.
