The '''Ophidian Mage''' is an ophidian spellcaster with 85–100 Magery and 109–123 hit points, and a generous mix of scrolls and reagents in its loot.

== Overview ==
* '''In-game name:''' ''an ophidian apprentice mage'' or ''an ophidian shaman'' (picked at random)
* '''Corpse:''' ''an ophidian corpse''
* '''Behavior:''' it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights like a spellcaster (mage AI), mixing spells with melee.
* '''Movement:''' it is one of the faster creatures in the game (fast speed).
* '''Enemies:''' terathans and ophidians are sworn enemies and attack each other on sight.
* '''Old name:''' its script keeps the old type name ''OphidianShaman'' as an alias, so old saves still load.

== Abilities ==
=== Magic ===
It fights with the mage AI: it closes to melee range but casts between swings. Its Magery is 85.1–100.0 and its Evaluating Intelligence 85.1–100.0.
* '''Damage spells:''' Magic Arrow, Harm, Fireball, Lightning, Mind Blast, Energy Bolt, Explosion and Flame Strike.
* '''Other spells:''' about 1 cast in 8 is Poison (only if you aren't poisoned already). It may also Bless itself, curse you (Weaken, Clumsy, Feeblemind or Curse), drain your mana (Mana Drain or Mana Vampire) or Paralyze you.
* '''Healing:''' it cures itself when poisoned, and sometimes heals itself (Greater Heal when badly hurt), more often the higher its Magery.
* '''Dispel:''' with 96+ Intelligence it can cast Dispel on your summoned creatures (more reliably the higher its Magery).

== Loot ==
Every ophidian mage carries:
* '''Gold:''' about 60–150 in total (from its "Average" loot)
* '''1 magic scroll''' from circles 1–3 (now and then a blank scroll). With Necromancy enabled on New Bradford, necromancy scrolls can show up too.
* '''1 magic scroll''' from circles 4–7. With Necromancy enabled on New Bradford, necromancy scrolls can show up too.
* '''1 random potion:''' Agility, Strength, Refresh, Lesser Cure, Lesser Heal or Lesser Poison
* '''10 reagents''' (random)

It may also carry:
* A '''magic weapon, armor piece or shield''' (up to 3 chances, from about 5% down to 0.5% each)
* A '''musical instrument''' (about 0.4% or less)
* A '''level 2 treasure map''' (1% chance)

=== Carving ===
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
* '''1 raw ribs'''

== Tips ==
* Ophidians and terathans are sworn enemies and attack each other on sight, so you can sometimes let them fight it out.
* Its loot includes scrolls of both low and middle circles and a potion.
