The Notes on a Failed Experiment are notes written by Gurn Coldhearth on becoming a Lich by creating a phylactery. They can be found in the Lich Outpost of the Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear.

| “ | Several sheets of parchment are covered in notations written by a steady, methodical hand. Much of the writing is faded beyond legibility or consists of arcane equations beyond your understanding. A few lines near the bottom of the pile, however, can be deciphered:
"Though the gold alloy proved more difficult to work than anticipated, I remain convinced that, once it is rendered sufficiently malleable, it will be an ideal substance from which to construct a phylactery. The heat of the Elemental Plane of Fire should render the material more pliant. I will use the portal to access that searing inferno shortly; first, I must scry a suitably private location there in which to do my work." |
