| Notes |
Malachi appears as a middle-aged human with disheveled hair and a crazed look in his eyes. His tattered robes, once adorned with intricate arcane symbols, now hang loosely on his form. He carries a staff that crackles with unstable energy, hinting at the power he wields. His appearance and mannerisms suggest a descent into madness, consumed by his obsession with harnessing the life-spark magic used by Pestico.

Spellbook:

Equipment:Tattered Robes, Staff crackling with unstable energy
Special Abilities:
Arcane Bond: Malachi's staff serves as his arcane bond, allowing him to use it to cast certain spells and granting him a +5 bonus on spell attack rolls.
Combat Strategy:
Malachi prefers to stay at a distance from his foes, utilizing his spellcasting abilities to deal damage and hinder his opponents. He begins combat by casting Mage Armour making it harder for enemies to hit him.
When engaging in offensive actions, Malachi often employs Magic Missile to unleash a barrage of force projectiles, seeking to overwhelm a single target or divide his attention among multiple foes. If he feels threatened or outnumbered, he employs Ray of Enfeeblement to weaken an opponent's strength, reducing their combat effectiveness.
Malachi is not one to engage in direct melee combat, and he relies on his spells to control the battlefield and keep adversaries at bay. If cornered or forced into close-quarters combat, he may resort to using his staff as a last line of defence, channelling raw arcane energy into it for melee strikes. At the cost of 1 MP he can do +1d4 damage for 1 round.
Personality:
Malachi's mind is consumed by a single-minded obsession with obtaining the life-spark magic used by Pestico. He is willing to go to great lengths, including performing twisted experiments and resorting to violence, to achieve his goal. His descent into madness has left him unhinged, making him unpredictable and dangerous. |
