## Information

The **Ice Mage** (also known as Frost Wizard) is **one of the hostile Mage mobs** that spawns in the cold biomes in the Overworld. It is a ranged mob that shoots ice at the player, and they also take up 1x2x1 space.

### **Fun Fact:**

Ice Mages spawn in the Tiaga at daytime and nighttime.

## Spawning

* The Ice Mage spawns in **Cold Biomes** naturally in the **Overworld**.
* The Ice Mage can also be summoned with a **Spawn Egg** and/or a **command** using "/summon gibby\_dungeons.EntityIceMage".

## Behavior

* The Ice Mage has three abilities: it heals itself, it creates a damaging cold wind and shoots an icy bolt at the player. This mage is not particulary difficult, but it is recommended to have decent gear.
* Furthermore, it would also call it a "microboss" when the player wears Iron Armor and when he/she uses a sword that deals 6 damage or lower and a Magirock Sword.

## Instructions/Strategies

* If you've created your own default world with your spawnpoint in the cold biomes (*i.e. Icy Plains, Tiaga*) in survival mode, you're gonna have a rough time with this kind of dude, because all Ice Mages are deadly to players without armor, and they spawn commonly in occasion, and they are entirely resistant to magic damage and they cannot be attacked by magical damage. They are really hard to punch them with hand.
* Make sure you build a shelter with wood after you attack the wood like the ones from trees like Spruce Trees, and building a shelter for safety is a very important suggestion, but be careful, because if there is a army of them (*for example: at least 4 mages*), and if you go outside the house/shelter you made when there is a major army that suddenly murder you (*seriously in game*) many times, it is never a fun time and it is NOT lovely and romantic.
* As a matter of fact, it can drop Icy Rods. Ice Elementals drop these rods when killed, so do Ice Crawlers and Elemental Bosses. Although they are useful to make things; although, it's not really worth it very often..., and it can be used to make the **Elemental Sword** which deals plenty of damage to the Ice Mage. This sword is recommended to kill this mage.
* **Void Damage** is the best suggestion, like the **Staff of the Warlock**.
* The **Cursed Wand** is also a great suggestion for this creature, and it takes plenty of moments to beat it.
* When you avoid the projectiles by sprinting, try your best by not getting impaired by the freezing icy projectiles.

## Loot Drops

* The Ice Mage can commonly drop **Icy Rods** when killed, and it can also drop **experience orbs** when killed.
* It rarely drops **Magical Gems** and **Magical Coins**.

## Trivia

* The name "Ice Mage" sounds similar to the word "Ice Age", before Middle Ages, where ancient mammals arrive/live.
* The Ice Mage is part of the mage family and it is related to the Hermit Mage, Earth Mage, Necromancer, and Warlock. They can also fight each other during the battle of mages.
* There are also ice mages from "Journey into the Light" mod, but this mob is different from the one in ArcanaRPG.
