Venom Mage are spellcasters who specialize in Poison Magic. Their toxic spells are effective against insects, but they are more than capable of exterminating warm-blooded creatures, too. However, they will probably have to branch out into other schools once they start facing demons.

Starting Equipment

Some species may receive different items based on their unique restrictions.

Starting Skills

These are adjusted by your species' aptitudes.

Strategy

Species that prefer to be Venom Mages are Humans, Deep Elves, Sludge Elves, Merfolk, Kobolds, Spriggans, Naga, Tengu, Draconians, Demigods, Demonspawn, Mummies, and Octopodes.

Your Sting spell gives you an edge over other starter attack spells, as it also has a chance to poison, which few early monsters can resist. Sting your enemies and stay out of reach until the poison kills them. Learn Mephitic Cloud the instant you hit level 3, too. Spriggans are particularly recommended, as they are extremely fast, playing well with poison/keep-away tactics.

Like most mages, Venom Mages begin the game without a religion, but you may choose a god at the Ecumenical Temple (unless you're a Demigod). Either Sif Muna or Vehumet will help with your magic.
