[@Lotrix Molick] The images are fine.

Having lich-like immortality without a phylactery is something that I'm not exactly okay with. In a roleplaying setting, it would be fine for an NPC or villain because they can be die, then come back in a while. For a player character, there are two results: if you die, you either come back fast enough for it to not matter (thereby removing tension and any stakes) or come back too slow (resulting in being unable to post for extended periods of time). Even then, lich-like regeneration only works because of phylacteries. An actual object that must be protected at all times.

Basically, the power is either strong enough to invalidate any trial, or it's so weak that it actually hurts you in a meta way (being unable to post).

Minor nitpick, but being outside of the karmic cycle basically means to not be in the endless rebirths. Basically reaching moksa. It would be more apt to say that he's permanently frozen in the cycle - unable to be reborn, and stuck to the mortal coil.
