Scarab mages are encountered during the Contact! quest. They attack using Magic. Their magic attack looks like a swarm of beetles and hits in the mid-200s, but is more likely to hit around 170 LP.

Warning: Scarab mages are able to extinguish a player's light source. Bring a tinderbox or a Seers' headband!

Interestingly, if you are using a Seers' headband as a light source, you may still receive the message that the mage has extinguished your light source, although, of course, it hasn't.

They take an unusually long time between spellcasting attacks, almost 6 seconds allowing prayer flashing to be used. This somewhat compensates for their high accuracy and max hit.
