Skeleton mages are monsters found in some of the more troubled areas of RuneScape. They use Magic and may cast the spell Vulnerability on a player. Thus, very high Defence and combat levels are recommended, as is dragonhide armour.

After completing the Swan Song quest, Skeleton mages can be 'summoned' after a fashion, although this does not involve the Summoning skill. Players can ask Malignius Mortifer for some more bone seeds. When they open the pot they receive, a Skeleton mage appears, performs a random emote, and falls apart.

LocationsEdit

• Piscatoris Fishing Colony (level 70)
• Waterfall Dungeon (level 16)
• Rimmington (Unattackable, occasionally called up by Malignius Mortifier)

TriviaEdit

• Skeleton mages can perform the Zombie dance and Zombie walk emotes, even though they are skeletons.
• On occasion, Malignius Mortifer may successfully cast one of his necromancy spells, and a Skeleton mage will appear. However, it has no combat level and may only be examined.
• If you try to open the pot too near Malignius Mortifer he will say 'You should take that pot further away from me before you open it!'.
• The Skeleton mages occasionally say "I will infect your body with rot..." if you get within melee range. They do not, however, cause Disease.
