Like all of the Adan'f race, the mage vaguely resembles a large lizard, complete with reddish-black scales and forked tongue. Slitted golden eyes are set deeply into its narrow skull, over triple rows of gleaming pointed teeth. A long, sinuous neck leads down to a slender, almost frail, body. Its delicate tail is tipped with one gleaming talon, though the tail appears too weak to use as a weapon. The mage wears a long hooded cloak of deep black cloth, its surface lumpy with concealed items. One of its three-fingered hands holds an oak staff topped with a jackal's skull. |

Description
Like all of the Adan'f race, the mage vaguely resembles a large lizard, complete with reddish-black scales and forked tongue. Slitted golden eyes are set deeply into its narrow skull, over triple rows of gleaming pointed teeth. A long, sinuous neck leads down to a slender, almost frail, body. Its delicate tail is tipped with one gleaming talon, though the tail appears too weak to use as a weapon. The mage wears a long hooded cloak of deep black cloth, its surface lumpy with concealed items. One of its three-fingered hands holds an oak staff topped with a jackal's skull.
Special Attacks
Casts Dinazen Olkar and Mental Blast.
In Depth
Shield skill is highly recommended, specifically a medium as you will be attacked with both targeted magic and melee. 40 discipline seems to be the range required to shrug off the Mental Blast.

- 37 disc, 45 int, 45 wis - easily shrug off MBs.
- DO easy to avoid or reduce to light damage with only 280 shield (25% stance) / 280 evasion (60% stance).
- Tactics / weapons significantly slower after 360.

Death and items
Adan'f mages will, on occasion, pick up the fallen weapon of the recently deceased and put it into their cloak.
