The Skeleton Mage is a mysterious and powerful skeletal sorcerer draped in tattered robes, wielding a long fireball staff that serves as both a ranged weapon and a melee instrument. Unlike traditional undead creatures, the Skeleton Mage is not classified as an Undead, suggesting a more complex origin—perhaps bound to its skeletal form through magical means rather than undeath.

Despite their frail appearance, Skeleton Mages are deceptively strong in melee combat, capable of striking hard with their staff when approached. However, their true danger lies in their magical prowess, as they can hurl fireballs at their enemies and summon reinforcements in the form of skeleton warriors or feral critters to overwhelm their foes.

Skeleton Mages are often found in ancient chambers, ruined sanctuaries, or arcane halls, where they act as guardians of forgotten knowledge or serve darker forces. They tend to keep their distance, using their fireball attacks to wear down enemies while summoning minions to act as a frontline defense.

A formidable and cunning opponent, the Skeleton Mage demands a strategic approach and quick reflexes from those who wish to defeat it:

• Keep moving to avoid its fireball attacks and prevent it from locking onto a target.
• Eliminate summoned minions quickly before they become overwhelming.
• Close the distance carefully—while Skeleton Mages are tougher in melee than they appear, getting into close-quarters combat can prevent them from casting fireballs.
