Trivia
- The
Bestiary entry for the Archmage: "One of the world’s foremost experts on magical theory, he is renowned for his skill with the arcane arts. In his days when he traveled with Yharim’s entourage, he acted as the Godseeker’s advisor, due to both his status and his distaste for actively participating in battle."
- The Archmage, along with the Sea King and the Brimstone Witch, are three Town NPC characters who have large roles in the mod's lore.
- The Archmage has a Draedon's Log entry dedicated to him that can be found in the Ice Bio-center Lab.
- The Archmage drops from Cryogen when it is defeated for the first time, once again referencing the lore.
- Real life Permafrost is ground that consistently remains at low temperatures below 0°C (32°F) for more than 2 years.
- His self-defense projectile is visually identical to the ice crystal fired by Absolute Zero; however, the Archmage's ice crystal pierces enemies and does not deal additional damage when it explodes.
- The Archmage has only one possible name, sharing this trait with Santa Claus, the Drunk Princess, the Brimstone Witch, and the Sea King.
- The Drunk Princess has dialogue that implies both had at least one sexual encounter.
- In the mod's source files, the Archmage is referred to as 'DILF'.
