Version history

Skeletal Mages were previously known as "skeleton casters".

Version	Changes
0.8.4	Fixed a client crash that occurs sometimes when a skeleton caster with attached arrows dies.
0.8.3	Skeleton casters now extinguish their hands when they die. Some Skeleton casters in the Cruel difficulty were set at the wrong difficulty. Fixed idle animation of Skeleton casters (and made it not play at the wrong time). Skeleton casters cast 30% slower now.
0.8.2	Skeleton caster attacks are now a lot stronger in higher difficulties. Get resistances.
0.8.1	Added Skeleton casters to many areas (ranged elemental foes).
