Skeleton Mage

Skeleton Mages (スケルトン・メイジ) are a type of skeleton with proficiency in magic.

Appearance
Skeleton Mage is a low leveled undead. In the Anime, its depicted as skeleton wearing a tattered robe and holding a staff.

Abilities
Skeleton Mage is the lowest ranked in the hierarchy of the Elder Lich type. This racial class was usually the starting race for any player to choose in the Elder Lich family. In order to promote oneself from a Mage into an Elder Lich, one had to gather the Book of the Dead in order to evolve their race. Their racial level is also weaker than mostly any other races and it does not specialize in combat skills.

In the Web Novel, the prerequisites to class changing oneself into an Elder Lich was to first have a minimum of ten racial Levels as a Skeleton Mage, possess a Book of the Dead [shisa no moto], at least 30 Magic class Levels, a deserted souls treasured book, possess a dark ritual document, and clear a special event.
