Deep elf mage

Useful Info

Deep elf mages are flimsy but unpredictable 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 later floors of the Dungeon on their own, and often appear in packs with other deep elves in the Elven Halls, the Vaults and some baileys.

Tips & Tricks

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

History

In 0.18, Deep elf mages became stronger and have new spell sets, including spells previously cast by deep elf conjurers and summoners.

Prior to 0.13, deep elf mages had spell sets identical to a wizard's, including such devastating spells as Banishment and Lehudib's Crystal Spear.
