The Copper Elemental turns every spell back on its caster and shrugs off half of all melee damage. One of eight ore elementals; each has its own page because their stats and special defenses differ a lot. See also dull copper, shadow iron, copper, bronze, golden, agapite, verite and valorite.

Overview

• In-game name: a copper elemental
• Corpse: an ore elemental corpse
• Behavior: it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights in melee.
• Bleed immune: bleed attacks (a weapon special New Bradford enables) don't affect it.

Abilities

Dispels summons

Any summoned creature that can be dispelled is destroyed instantly when it hits the copper elemental in melee or the copper elemental hits it. Blade spirits, energy vortexes, summoned elementals and daemons are wasted against it.

Special behaviors

• Reflects every spell. Every spell cast at it bounces back to the caster, as if it always had Magic Reflection up.
• Half melee damage: it takes only 50% of normal melee damage.

Loot

Every copper elemental carries:

• Gold: about 60–150 in total (from its "Average" loot)
• 2 random gems (amber, amethyst, citrine, diamond, emerald, ruby, sapphire, star sapphire or tourmaline)
• 2 copper ore (a pile; 25 if it rose from a gargoyle's pickaxe dig)

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 1 treasure map (1% chance)

Carving

There's nothing to carve from its corpse.

Location

• Mining with a gargoyle's pickaxe: when you mine with a gargoyle's pickaxe and the ore you dig up is the vein's main ore, there's a 10% chance a copper elemental rises next to you and attacks you. That elemental carries 25 copper ore instead of the usual 2. You need about 75 Mining to dig copper ore. Gargoyle's pickaxes drop from gargoyles, enslaved gargoyles, stone gargoyles, gargoyle enforcers and gargoyle destroyers.

Tips

• Don't cast at it; your own spell comes back at you.
• Expect fights to take twice as long with weapons. Pets work normally against it.
