Scarab mage

Scarab mages are encountered during the Contact! quest. They attack using Magic. Their magic attack looks like a swarm of beetles and are able to hit into the 700s, and very accurately.

Warning: Scarab mages are able to extinguish a player's light source. Bring a tinderbox (toolbelt works) or a Seers' headband!

Interestingly, if you are using a Seers' headband as a light source, you may still receive the message that the mage has extinguished your light source, although, of course, it hasn't.

They have an extremely slow attack rate, slower than even that of a Dark bow, at nearly 8 seconds in between spellcasting. However, they make up for it somewhat with their constant hits of 700 or more damage.
