Request for an Epic Spell design

I use some elements from prior editions. The way I view lichdom is that it is an attempt (not very successful, actually) to make oneself immortal and invincible. The increased hit dice may help, but lichdom has several draw backs. (Even a demi-lich will run out of time, eventually.)

Unbalancing? How do you figure?

Consider the effects on NPCs. Powerful spellcasters from 10,000 years ago would still be around (and probably pushing 121st level or so ) rather than facing the one inescapable limitation on their power - time. It would change the dynamics of the world incredibly.

But doesn't the potential for this already exist? Liches, vampires?
