I'm not much fond of the idea of skeleton casting. Also the unit seems a bit too powerful to be a summoned unit. Those spells are pretty powerful and some are new for the race.

How about just slowing and disarmor? the effects he will cast is just 2 turns then vanish. Agree?

Undeads can cast fear which already decreases the armor value of units.

Lets give him disenchant instead.

Thanks. so the abilities of skeleton mage, Fear and disenchant and vanish for 2 turns. Agree?

Does the skeleton vamish in 2 turns after be cast? Or do you mean that each spell will last 2 turns?

I think skeletons would be particularly weak casters, so lets just make the effects last 1 turn.

Spell.

Good Idea.

Okay, now edit that in with the cost.

It's best to keep a current update on the unit's stats in the first page.

Edited.

I think skeletons would be particularly weak casters, so lets just make the effects last 1 turn.

Some time ago, skeleton archers were summoned with vanishing 3, and dropped corpses. They turned out to be pretty weak, and vanishing was dropped. I actually think it might be alright to give these guys vanishing 3 when summoned, then give spells fear, disenchant, and clockspinning, all as per normal, plus a direct damage spell for 5 damage.

The idea is that the magic animating them is powerful and unstable, and they use clockspinning to preserve​ themselves. Under the influence of a spirit tower, this gets easier, and they can actually become a valuable tool to give endurance to golems, or else add to their own lives to eventually join the battle.

I think they should use the same logic of other reanimatable units. Specific corpse, no vanishing and such. Simply just balance them to be simply weak supporters. Also nice image.

OK, Do you have an idea how it will make truly balanced?

I think we can give it no vanishing but a low casting range (since its spells are debuffs it can be killed easily by the enemy unless well defended).

Its pierce armor can still defend it against a couple of arrows tough.

I Agree, How about 4 Ranges?

I was thinking more 3.

Basically slightly more than melee.

You need to risk the unit if you want to debuff a strong unit in that range (remember that spellcasters never cost less than 3)

so it is 4?

I just think it should be 4 since he can walk at 3 speed and other enemies can kill this easily with minimum of arrows that possibility kill him

4 seems too much because this is a unit that should never be left alone (and consider that it has cost 0)

btw i've made a corpse

uhm. So It should be 3 Ranges? If yes, Still Agree.

The corpse image is Cool.

yep, thanks
