Useful Info
Spriggan air mages are spriggan spell casters who have mastered various forms of Air Magic. They have a powerful electricity damage spell as well as Airstrike, making them dangerous to characters without electricity resistance or low AC. They are also notable for having a permanent Repel Missiles enchantment in effect, protecting them from most ranged attacks.
They can be found in the bands of spriggans roaming the Swamp, forests of the deeper Lair, the Depths and in certain vaults, as well as accompanying the Enchantress.

Tips & Tricks
- When encountering bands of spriggans, always keep an eye out for these opponents. If they can see you, they are capable of hitting you for fairly heavy damage with perfect accuracy, and it is nearly impossible to outrun them on foot. Carelessness around these foes can be extremely deadly, particularly when several other significant threats are attacking you at the same time.
- Fighting them in an enclosed area reduces the damage of Airstrike, but keep a gap or metal wall behind you to avoid suffering a multizap.
- If you aren't a melee fighter, try using unavoidable magic to take them down. Fireball, Freezing Cloud, Lee's Rapid Deconstruction, or your own Airstrike will all suffice.
