This magnificent talisman is one version of the fabled lich’s phylactery.  By Working diligently with Zazazel, Matrigal, Nhilmice, or Vistaeryn, one knows the importance of the phylactery as it is the pinnacle relic for sidestepping the unfortunate side effect of life known as death.  This unholy talisman comes accompanied with a scroll that details the prime method of extracting the soul from oneself and placing it within this vial and further to fully enchant it to be the phylactery it is both expected and desired to be.  Some necromancers choose a vessel to bind their soul to, while others choose a relic such as this that can be kept on their person without ever giving away your macabre secret.  At its very base, it has been imbued with intense necromantic energy which opens within it a vortex for the forthcoming magicks to unfold.  Great time and care is taken to ensure this is prepared exactly as Zazazel requires to promise the Apotheosis of the Lich.
