Immortality

[Wish]

there is a spell called twiceborn where the spellcaster returns as a wight mage, essentially a lich, which is immortal, I believe.

Yeah, but I don't think that spell works for Ancient Krakens, unless I'm wrong.

I imagine it does, if you can manage to get them out of the water (there is a magic item that can do that)

the disadvantages of being underwater are arguably balanced by the advantage of being hard to reach by those who are not underwater.

[HoneyBadger]

Yes, but the question isn't whether you can turn an Ancient Kraken into a lich, the question is whether you can turn an Ancient Kraken into an Ancient Kraken who is ALSO a lich. To turn an Ancient Kraken into a standard demi-lich might be possible, but it would be a waste.

Wight mages are not amphibious in any way.

Water magic no longer conveys the ability to breathe water, even to the caster.

End result: instant drowning.

It should also be noted that pretender morphing is permanent; if your pretender drowns as a wight mage, he'll reappear as a wight mage when Call God is used, not as per his original form (unless this has changed from D2...).

Thus ends one of the more arguably abusive D2 R'lyeh exploits: Twiceborning a rainbow Void Lurker to get a rainbow wight mage with more slots and the ability to actually run around.

How does the elixer of life work?

IIRC Wight mages aren't immortal, they're just undead (so don't really age for example).
