This Lich Requests More Remuneration

With just three sentences, you convinced the Paladin to spend five thousand Gold Coins for you.

You truly are a master of the Undead who thoroughly understands human nature!

…

“Respected Master Amberser, after our review by the editors at ‘Legendary Spells’ Publishing, we regret to inform you that your paper ‘Research on the Non-Humanoid Form Modification of Undead Creatures’ is unsuitable for publication in our monthly magazine. We suggest that you submit your work to a magical academic journal with less stringent review requirements.”

A burst of ghostly blue flame erupted from the tips of fingers, reducing the rejection letter.

“Damn it! You bastards are purely discriminating against liches, discriminating against undead magic!!!”

“Drop dead!”
