A deep elf learned in the ways of murderous magic. Deep elf mages are capable of a wide array of harmful spells.

For a list of all deep elves, see list of deep elves.

Useful Info

Deep elf mages are flimsy but unpredictable deep elf casters, capable of casting 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 often appear in packs with other deep elves, and can be found in the Elven Halls, the middle levels of the Dungeon and some baileys.
