The viscous detritus of a thousand failed spells, surging forward with a speed that defies its towering size. Its very substance is a hole in the fabric of magic; enchantments find no purchase there and it leaches magical power from anything it touches like a dry sponge in water.

Useful info

Quicksilver oozes move fast and hit fast, with attacks that seem specifically geared towards disabling spellcasters. They are commonly found in the Slime Pits but are occasionally found in the late dungeon or depths.

Tips & Tricks

Watch out for their asphyxiation and antimagic melee; their high speed can make escape difficult and you may be repeatedly engulfed while your magic is sapped away.

They aren't very durable. Unavoidable damaging spells or wands/evocables can take care of them, if you are ready.

History
