==Useful Info==
'''Deep elf mages''' are flimsy but unpredictable [[list of deep elves|deep elf]] casters, capable of hitting you with a wide variety of spells, though at reassuringly low [[spell power]]. While never harmless, they pale in comparison to some of the deadlier deep elf varieties. They can be found roaming the middle floors of [[the Dungeon]] on their own, and often appear in packs with other deep elves in the [[Elven Halls]] and some [[bailey]]s.

==Tips & Tricks==
Although far from harmless, prioritize taking out the other deep elves before attacking these.

==Trivia==
In late December, online ''Crawl'' servers give these opponents festive Santa hats. Why a mere elf would be wearing a Santa hat is beyond me.

==History==
Prior to [[0.13]], deep elf mages had spell sets identical to a [[wizard (monster)|wizard's]], including such devastating spells as [[Banishment]] and [[Lehudib's Crystal Spear]].
