Finger Mages are Undead.

Finger Mages are hovering, ghostly creatures that can fight at melee range or cast a nasty, mana-draining homing missile from a distance. They are more annoyance than danger for most characters, and even tough boss packs are seldom lethal.

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

Statistics

Speed rates a monster's movement speed. 1 is very slow, 10 is fast, with some very fast creatures rated at 10+.

Normal finger mages do not drop items, just potions and sometimes runes. Champions and Bosses/minions do drop all kinds of items, and their values are listed below.

• The TC/Rune drops listed are the highest Treasure Class/Rune Group a normal monster of that type can drop.
  • TC Champions and Bosses can sometimes drop from the next higher group.
  • The max TC/Rune possible may depend on which level a monster spawns in, and can be lower than the maximum. See the item calculators to ascertain precisely what a monster from a given area can drop.

Offense

Finger Mages cast a spell that sends seeking pink tentacles across the floor. If these strike a target they deal physical damage + fire damage + mana drain. Their attacks may also stun targets.

Defenses

• Regen Rate tells what % of a monster's hit points are recovered per second. Standard is 1.2/sec.
• Blocking tells what % of successful, blockable attacks will not damage the monster. Monsters need not carry a shield to 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

• 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 page for more details.
