The Acid Mage is a battlemage similar to the flame/ice/electric mage, with the main difference being that they specialize in acid magic. Their starting pet is also acid resistant, making it much safer to use acid spells/wands. Upon leveling up enough, the acid hound pup will grow into an adult acid hound which is very strong and capable of taking down lots of enemies. Compared to the other elemental mages, acid mages are at an advantage intrinsic-wise since acid resistance is otherwise very hard to obtain, however their starting wand cannot burn permanent [[Elbereth]]s.

Strategy

The Acid Mage is a battlemage similar to the flame/ice/electric mage, with the main difference being that they specialize in acid magic. Their starting pet is also acid resistant, making it much safer to use acid spells/wands. Upon leveling up enough, the acid hound pup will grow into an adult acid hound which is very strong and capable of taking down lots of enemies. Compared to the other elemental mages, acid mages are at an advantage intrinsic-wise since acid resistance is otherwise very hard to obtain; however, their starting wand cannot burn permanent Elbereths.

The Acid Mage quest mainly spawns drow and titans, and there are lots of pre-placed spellcasters as well, making it one of the harder quests in the game. Beating the Lightningrod quest nemesis quickly is recommended since the quest goal level has obnoxious titans hiding behind non-diggable walls, and they can freely summon monsters and cast other spells while the player is running around. However, the Lightningrod also moves very slowly and starts out surrounded by sessile monsters that are hard to take out.

Origin

The Acid Mage is an acid-based pendant to SLASH'EM's flame and ice mages.
