'''Skeleton mages''' are monsters found in some of the more troubled areas of ''[[RuneScape]]''. They use [[Magic]] and may cast the spell [[Vulnerability]] on a player. Thus, very high [[Defence]] and combat level is recommended, as is [[dragonhide armour]].

After completing the [[Swan Song]] [[quest]], Skeleton mages can be 'summoned' after a fashion, although this does not involve the [[Summoning]] skill. Players can ask [[Malignius Mortifer]] for some more [[bone seed]]s. When they open the [[pot]] they receive, a Skeleton mage appears, performs a random emote, and falls apart.

==Trivia==
*Skeleton mages can perform the [[Zombie dance]] and [[Zombie walk]] emotes, even though they are skeletons.
*On occasion, Malignius Mortifer may successfully cast one of his [[necromancy]] spells, and a Skeleton mage will appear. However, it has no combat level and may only be examined.
*If you try to open the pot too near Malignius Mortifer he will say 'You should take that pot further away from me before you open it!'.
*The Skeleton mages occasionally say "I will infect your body with rot..." if you get within melee range. They do not, however, cause [[Disease]].
