A '''drow mage''', {{black|@}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[EvilHack]]. The drow mage is a type of male [[Drow (monster attribute)|drow]] that is roughly equivalent to the [[elven wizard]], and is a [[M2_LORD|lord]] to drowkind. Drow mages are [[strong]] and accurate, have [[ultravision]], can [[see invisible]], will pick up weapons, [[magical item]]s and other items that they come across.

A drow mage can cast [[Magic missile (monster spell)|magic missile]] and one mage [[monster spell]] during each of his turns, possesses [[sleep resistance]], [[poison resistnace]], [[magic resistance]], and [[telepathy]], and takes extra damage from [[iron]].

[[Eating]] a drow mage [[corpse]] or [[tin]] grants {{frac|2|25}} (+8%) [[Partial intrinsic|additional sleep resistance]] and may grant telepathy.

==Generation==
Randomly generated drow magess may be created as peaceful towards drow heroes, and are always hostile towards non-drow [[Elf (monster attribute)|elves]] and [[Orc (monster attribute)|orcs]], including heroes of those races.

Drow mages typically [[Monster starting inventory|generate with]] [[dark elven item]]s: They have a {{frac|2}} chance of generating with either a [[dark elven helm]] or [[dark elven cloak]] with equal probability, an independent {{frac|3}} chance of generating with either [[dark elven boots]] or [[dark elven gloves]] with equal probability, and an independent {{frac|2}} chance of generating with a [[dark elven dagger]].

All drow weapons generated in a drow mage's initial inventory have a {{frac|3}} chance of being coated in [[drow poison]].

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
Drow, also known as dark elves, deep elves, night elves, and
the Dark Ones among orcs, are a dark-skinned sub-race of elves
that predominantly live in the Underdark. They are hated and
feared due to their cruelty, though some non-evil and an even
smaller number of good drow exist.

"Station: In all the world of the drow, there is no more
important word. It is the calling of their - of our - religion,
the incessant pulling of hungering heartstrings. Ambition
overrides good sense and compassion is thrown away in its face,
all in the name of Lloth, the Spider Queen." - Drizzt Do'Urden
