New Lich polymorph: could do without the effects

Recently got the lich polymorph from an Unfeathered crate, and was really happy about it since I've been waiting for a lich outfit style/polymorph to be added to the game for years. But I was sad to see that everything was obscured by this black/blue cloud effect surrounding the character. The glowing eyes are cool I guess, but this could really do without the cloud of darkness that covers everything up.
The black/blue goes away when the character sprints (the glowing eyes stay) and it looks SO much better. At this point I wish I could just turn the other effect off.
There's also a third effect near the legs/feet that make it look like you trail clouds when you walk. In my opinion I think that one's also fine since it's out of the way and even then doesn't cover anything up like the black/blue cloud on the torso.
So overall happy that the polymorph finally got added, but really disappointed that most of it is completely obscured by an annoying effect and there's no way of getting rid of it.

✭✭✭✭✭you could probably replicate the lich polymorph without effects by using some kind of robe motif + nerienth monster head (either actual item or style page)
im not a style expert so im not sure what you would use for the robe/feet/hands/shoulders that might match closelyplays PC/NA

✭Use the Nerien'eth style page for the helmet and shoulders, add some ragged befitting robes like scalecaller to it and go grab that one mage's guild questline that adds the blue magic effect to your character. Or the blue orb from that one Malabal Tor quest.You don't even have to turn the quest in. The effects stay with you until your character dies. Then you can simply abandon the quest and pick it up again if you feel like it.
TL;DR: The amount of possible alternatives render the polymorph itself both overpriced and redundant.1 -

✭I love the effects of the Lich polymorph and think it is very well done. I would not have purchased it without the special effects.1 -
Lazarus_Rising✭✭✭✭✭I would have loved to see a Lich with a skeleton body instead of the usual lich one. That would have made it unique. Regardless i am happy that we got a polymorph like this.
Sadly there is no lich style motif to unlock so if you wanna wear it you have to equip a mediocre set sadly.also known as Overlich.1
