'''Battle mages''' are [[magic]]-users found in the [[Wilderness]] [[Mage Arena]]. They appear in the arena itself, and their primary function is to battle the player, thus allowing the player to cast their chosen [[god spells|god spell]] 100 times on any of the [[mage]]s in order to be able to use the spell outside of the Arena.

Battle mages come in three types; [[Saradomin]]ist mages, who carry [[Saradomin staff|Saradomin staves]] and have an appearance similar to the [[Seer]]s in [[Seers' Village]], [[Zamorak]]ian mages, who appear pale and cloaked, bearing similarities to [[Highwayman|Highwaymen]] and carry [[Zamorak staves]], and [[Guthix]]ian mages, who are [[gnome]]s and look akin to [[Gnome mage]]s who ride the backs of [[Tortoise]]s in the [[Battlefield]].

The maximum hit of the mages is quite high for their level, and the [[Protect from Magic]] prayer is recommended when battling them. However, for people with higher magic and [[defence]] (80+ and 70+ respectively recommended), it might be more economical to use [[food]]. Their [[aggressiveness]] depends on the type of [[god cape]] a player wears; mages are not aggressive to players wearing their God's cape.

Additionally, wielding a [[Void knight mace]] whilst wearing a non-Guthix cape such as the Saradomin cape or Zamorak cape will cause only one type of Battle mage to be aggressive towards players at any one time. However, this is generally not a concern as it is not a [[Multicombat area]].

==Trivia==
* When a certain type of battle mage is non-aggressive they can still be attacked and would retaliate.
* The mage holding the Zamorak staff appears similar to a dark wizard and a highwayman mixed together.
* After the graphical update on gnomes, the Guthixian mages no longer wield their [[Guthix staff|God staff]] or [[Guthix cape|God cape]], unlike their Saradominist and Zamorakian counterparts.
* Their magic attacks, despite also being the god spells, has a shorter range than the players'. Making it, in theory, possible to [[safespot]] them. However, another battle mage should soon attack the player.
