As for picking Necromancy as a barred school, this is an interesting choice. I wouldn't do it personally because it feels like you should have to be able to cast Necromancy spells in order to become a lich. There's nothing in the rules about having to be able to cast Necromancy spells to create a phylactery though, so it's a rules-legal option. |
I wouldn't bar necromancy, but just would not be a necromantic specialist.
and, one feature of the archmage prestige class is counterspelling mastery that allows him to not only counterspell something cast at him, but also turn the spell back on its caster. So, a targeted dispel magic would not only be countered, but would (in turn) be cast upon the PC, potentially dispelling several of the PCs buffing spells.
