 Dread liches resist most elements and have infinite will themselves. Blaster casters should use pure [[Conjurations]] or [[Earth Magic]], Necromancy specialists can use [[Dispel Undead]], and hexers can try disabling it with [[Enfeeble]]. Melee fighters should lure them around corners, or use [[scrolls of fog]], to limit the amount of summons. [[Holy wrath]] and [[antimagic]] work well as brands.

 *Dread liches can be [[silence]]d, preventing them from casting any spells. However, silence does nothing to any existing demons. If you need to silence, do so early in the fight.
 *As always, remember that killing a summoner destroys all its summons. If you are confident you can finish off a dread lich before its summoned fiends can tear you to pieces, go for it. If you ''aren't'' confident of that, consider what safe escape routes you have available.
