Apprentice Fire Mage

"I am master of the arcane!" - An Apprentice Fire Mage to the Dragonborn

An Apprentice Fire Mage is an enemy in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Location
These enemies can be found in Fellglow Keep, where they are a part of Orthorn's rebel mage group.

Combat
Out of the mages stationed at Fellglow Keep, these foes are the most dangerous. They are difficult to kill with a melee weapon, because they keep their distance from the player, and shoot deadly blasts of fire, from a long range. These attacks do a ton of damage, and, to make matters worse, they can summon Flame Atronachs, who are tough enemies to kill. If you even attempt to charge a Fire Mage, to kill him with a melee weapon, you are a sitting duck. They will kill you in seconds, with their high-powered fire spells. Because of these reasons, they should be highest priority target, in any encounter.

The most recommended weapon, to use against the Apprentice Fire Mage, is the Bow. The arrows fired from the Bow inflict heavy damage, and it is best used from a long range, so you can snipe the Fire Mage to death. Magic is also recommended, because of the damage it does. However, it can't reach a target from a very long range.

 * Septim (coin)
