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 leveled mages can cast Surge spells which can even hit over 200. Also, most stronger mages can bind you, as well as being able to use various types of curses. This max hit is quite high for their level. Killing the lower leveled 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 defense. They have a special ability only shared by necromancers: they could cast what looks like stat spy on players to temporary disable the cloaking effects of the shadow silk hood. This is sometimes their most lethal spell even though it deals no direct damage, for many humanoid enemies might attack the affected player at once.

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-levelled mages used higher-powered wave spells that hit maximum damage consistent with the corresponding surge spells (for example, the highest levelled mages used a variation of Fire Wave with maximum damage of 280, the same as Fire Surge). Although the higher-levelled 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 a glitch. They also appear to be missing the bottom of their face. This applies for those mainly wearing tier 2 or wildercress robes.
 * 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.
 * Some of the mages seem to be wielding a magical blastbox.
 * Celestial gloves can be obtained from To'Kash the Bloodchiller, the Celestial shoes can be obtained from Astea Frostweb, the Celestial robe bottom can be obtained from the Runebound behemoth, the Celestial hood can be obtained from Lexicus Runewright, and the Celestial robe top can be obtained from the Warped gulega.
