Forgotten mage

The Forgotten mage is a monster in Daemonheim released with the Dungeoneering skill. They attack exclusively with magic. Their combat levels vary, as do the magic robes they wear and their level of spells they cast. They will usually drop 2 pieces of the robes they are wearing (e.g. one wearing Roseblood robes may drop 2 pieces of Roseblood equipment). They usually have high magic stats but fairly low life points. They are generally accurate with their attacks, and high levelled mages can cast Surge spells which can even hit over 200. Killing the lower levelled mages is simple if the player wears ranged armour and attacks with melee or ranged. Fighting strong mages would require some food and/or the Protect from Magic prayer; their magic attacks are even accurate towards high-level range armour, as well as having higher melee defence.

Trivia

 * Prior to the graphical update for the elemental spells, the Forgotten mages that used wave spells used the hand animation associated with blast or lower spells.
 * Also before the graphical update, some of the higher-leveled mages used higher-powered wave spells that hit maximum damage consistent with the corresponding surge spells (for example, the highest leveled mages used a variation of Fire Wave with maximum damage of 280, the same as Fire Surge). Although the higher-leveled mages now cast the proper elemental surge spells, they still use the sound effects for the wave spells.
 * Sometimes they appear to be wearing a coif. It is unknown if this is aa glitch.
 * Unlike forgotten warriors and forgotten rangers, forgotten mages do not use weapons (staffs) to aid them in combat.
 * With a hidden update, Forgotten mages now bind the player, then move a few squares away (if in melee range) and continue attacking them similar to Astea Frostweb.
 * The Celestial robe bottom it is wearing can be obtained from the Runebound behemoth, the Celestial hood can be obtained from Lexicus Runewright. Currently no other Celestial item can be obtained yet.
