Weaknesses

As a being of death, the Lich is weak to life-based powers. This can be seen in the episode "Escape from the Citadel" in which a small dab of the Citadel Guardian's blood completely incapacitated the Lich, causing him to devolve into a being of love (Sweet P). Magic Users suffer from M.M.S., Magic, Madness, and Sadness. They are driven crazy to the point of insanity.

Ranked tied for #2 of 43 in Adventure Time by strength.
