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 226+ Intelligence it can cast Dispel on your summoned creatures (more reliably the higher its Magery).

Loot

Every blood elemental carries:

• Gold: about 662–1,000 in total (from its "Filthy Rich" and "Rich" loot)

It may also carry:

• A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 7 chances, from about 33% down to 1% each)
• A musical instrument (about 3% or less)
• A level 5 treasure map (1% chance)

Carving

There's nothing to carve from its corpse.

Tips

• Its spells are the main danger; keep your health high.
• It can drop level 5 treasure maps.
