Since many of you asked about stats for the Dracolich, the first mention of it I can find is in Dragon Magazine issue 110, written by my friend @TheEdVerse ! Also, preceding the stats he wrote the process for creating a Dracolich as well!!!

SPELLFIRE was written in July and August of 1986, but was drastically shortened, in-house, in the winter of 1987 as Book Department plans (and personnel) changed.

Do you by chance still have the original version?

I have been trying to "reconstruct" it for years. I had so little time to "fix" the shortened version that I had to cannibalize my reference photocopy of the original MS (sent to TSR; I kept photocopies in case the post offices/customs lost originals) to do a rescue draft.
