==Notes==
* Illithid Arcanists have 2 variants: one with [[Fire Shield: Chill]] and Fire resistance, and another with [[Fire Shield: Warm]] and Cold resistance.
* Their version of [[Magic Missile]] deals more damage, fires more missiles, and has a significantly longer range. This makes them dangerous if not dealt with quickly.
