If you are talking about a TES lich, well, I think it makes sense, because a lich is practically a zombie mage with lots of flashy spells, floating around and being cool.

Real lore, no, because a real lore lich binds their soul to a container to make themselves immortal (Voldemort from Harry Potter would count as a lich).

Pretty much depends on which question the original poster was asking.
