An elven wizard, @, is a type of monster that appears in EvilHack and Hack'EM. The elven wizard is a type of male elf that is a mid-level spellcaster, stronger than the likes of orc shamans and gnomish wizards.
An elven wizard can cast magic missile and one mage monster spell during each of his turns, possesses sleep resistance, magic resistance and telepathy, and takes extra damage from iron.
Eating an elven wizard corpse or tin grants 2⁄25 (+8%) additional sleep resistance and may grant telepathy.
Generation
Randomly-generated elven wizards will always be peaceful towards elven heroes, and may also be peaceful towards other chaotic heroes characters that are not orcs. They are always hostile towards drow and orcs, including heroes of those races.
Two hostile elven wizards are generated within the Minas Tirith-like variant of Fort Ludios. There is a 1⁄3 chance of a sleeping elven wizard being generated within the cross-aligned shrine in the Orc Temple variant of Mines' End.
The Wizard of Yendor may create a clone of himself in the guise of an elven wizard via the Double Trouble monster spell.
Elven wizards have a 1⁄2 chance of being generated with an elven helm, a 1⁄4 chance of being generated with elven boots, and a 1⁄2 chance of being generated with an elven dagger.
EvilHack
In EvilHack only, four hostile elven wizards appear within the Wizard's Tower at level creation: two of them are generated randomly on the middle floor, and the other two are stationed within the southern wing of the top floor.
Encyclopedia entry
The Elves sat round the fire upon the grass or upon the sawn
rings of old trunks. Some went to and fro bearing cups and
pouring drinks; others brought food on heaped plates and
dishes.
"This is poor fare," they said to the hobbits; "for we are
lodging in the greenwood far from our halls. If ever you are
our guests at home, we will treat you better."
"It seems to me good enough for a birthday-party," said Frodo.
Pippin afterwards recalled little of either food or drink, for
his mind was filled with the light upon the elf-faces, and the
sound of voices so various and so beautiful that he felt in a
waking dream. [...]
Sam could never describe in words, nor picture clearly to
himself, what he felt or thought that night, though it remained
in his memory as one of the chief events of his life. The
nearest he ever got was to say: "Well, sir, if I could grow
apples like that, I would call myself a gardener. But it was
the singing that went to my heart, if you know what I mean."
