Lich Touch, Icewind Dale 1

Lich Touch IWD1

Lich Touch is an IWD arcane spell in Black Isle's cRPG of 1999, Icewind Dale 1. Lich Touch bestows immunity to paralysis and inflicts on-touch 1d10 cold and paralysis on a failed save vs. Spell. This is quite powerful because the on-hit paralysis duration is one round per caster level for a maximum 14-round duration. That is long enough to slay the victim 20 times over.

• This spell confers the powers of a lich's touch and a lich's immunities upon the caster. The wizard gains immunity to paralysis and fear while the spell is in effect, and his hands glow with an unearthly green radiance that does 1-10 hit points of damage to a target and paralyzes them unless a saving throw vs. paralyzation is made. This spell has no effect on undead.

Lich Touch has also been added to Baldur's Gate 2 through SCS BG2 and IWDification.
