Arak Calandryll was once apowerful wizard, but made the mistake of picking teacher. He sought out the Mindmage as his tutor, and the Mindmage accepted. However, the Mindmage realized that Calandryll was a possible threat to his power, and so when Calandryll spoke to him about loichdom, the Mindmage brought up spectral mage instead. It was a much easier transformation than that of a lich, and so Calandryll agreed. Only after it was done did he discover that in this form he could advance no more on the path of wizardry.
