I'm not sure this is even in the place but here it goes. I was reading under the whole Lich thing and how to use the template it states something about being having level 11 caster level. Does that mean any class with magical abilties like Warlock or Spellthief....etc could become a Lich at level 11 and beyond correct?

THE LICH’S PHYLACTERY
An integral part of becoming a lich is creating a magic phylactery in which the character stores its life force. As a rule, the only way to get rid of a lich for sure is to destroy its phylactery. Unless its phylactery is located and destroyed, a lich reappears 1d10 days after its apparent death.
Each lich must make its own phylactery, which requires the Craft Wondrous Item feat. The character must be able to cast spells and have a caster level of 11th or higher. The phylactery costs 120,000 gp and 4,800 XP to create and has a caster level equal to that of its creator at the time of creation.
The most common form of phylactery is a sealed metal box containing strips of parchment on which magical phrases have been transcribed. The box is Tiny and has 40 hit points, hardness 20, and a break DC of 40.
Other forms of phylacteries can exist, such as rings, amulets, or similar items. Sure, already seen Bard and Ranger liches. Quite interesting...
Bard synergies great with lich.

Oh, but not at level eleven for spellthief, but for warlock. Spellthief can be when he gets caster level eleven. Practiced Spellcaster can be used to fullfill this requirement earlier.
