A distant relative of the [[list of nagas|naga]], '''salamander mystics''' are magically-gifted, fiery snake men. Unsurprisingly, they are immune to [[fire]] and vulnerable to [[cold]]. Along with their ability to [[haste]] their allies and pelt you with modestly powerful [[conjurations]], they can take advantage of the [[poison]]ous attacks of their naga alllies to ignite the blood in your veins. They can be found in groups of other salamanders in [[the Depths]], and with naga allies as well in the [[Snake Pit]].

* Fire resistance greatly reduces their ability to deal damage to you, but even then they can still provide dangerous support for their allies. Poison resistance also comes in handy to avoid their Localized Ignite Poison spell, though if you have sufficient fire resistance, taking a little fire damage may be worthwhile to cure you of your poison level.

* Characters of races with naturally poisonous biology ([[naga]]s, [[kobold]]s, green [[draconian]]s, and players in [[Spider Form]]) don't have to be poisoned for Localized Ignite Poison to work on them, making fire resistance much more important.

** Conversely, characters of races that are immune to poison (the [[undead]] and [[gargoyle]]s) have nothing to fear from the spell, as it can never affect them.
