Skeleton Mages are [[Undead]].

These mages spawn with glowing hands, color-coded to the type of elemental damage they deal. Not every element spawns for each type of skeletal mage, and the different elemental mages have slightly different stats. They do not vary widely in hit points, experience, defense, or any other stats except for their resistances. ~~All~~ Most players find poison and cold mages the ~~skeletal mages are highly resistant~~ most vexing, since characters tend to place less importance on those resistances, and due to the ~~type of elemental damage they themselves deal,~~ added chill time and poison drain those elements pack. Though all ~~types~~ four elements of ~~Burning Dead~~ each type of skeletal mages are ~~highly resistant to fire~~listed in the game stats and on Blizzard's site, ~~as you would expect~~only a few of these actually spawn in the game.

* All values are listed by difficulty level: '''Normal / Nightmare / Hell.'''

=Statistics=

~~Only certain types~~ * The TC/Rune drops listed are the highest [[Treasure Class]]/[[Rune Group]] a normal monster of that type can drop.** Champions and Bosses can sometimes drop from the ~~four elemental skeleton mages actually exist~~next higher TC. ~~Types not~~ ** The max TC/Rune possible depends on which level a monster spawns in, and can vary slightly from the listed ~~do not~~ values (monsters that spawn in v1later levels can drop higher level items).11See the item [[calculators]] to ascertain precisely what a monster from a given area can drop.

=Defenses=

~~No skeleton mages can be leeched with mana or life steal equipment~~* Regen Rate tells what % of a monster's hit points are recovered per second. ~~They have no meat on their bones~~ Standard is 1.2/sec.* Blocking tells what % of successful, blockable attacks will not damage the monster. Monsters need not carry a shield to ~~steal from~~block.

* Drain Effectiveness tells what % of a character's mana and life steal apply to that monster. 100 is all, 0 is none.

* Chill Effectiveness tells what % of a character's cold length applies to the monster. 100 is all, 0 is no freeze/chill at all.

=Resistances=

The various types of skeletal mages are generally highly resistant or immune to their own form of elemental attack. (Amusing to note that the only type of Guest Monster skeletal mage that is not immune to poison is the only one that throws it.)

* Resistances over 99% are listed as immunities and monsters will take no damage from that type of attack.

* Immunities can be "broken" by skills that lower resistance, if the value drops below 99%. See the [[Resistances#Immunities|Resistances]] page for more details.
