Ghost Magicians

The Ghost Magicians (also known as Hat Phantoms) are a unique enemy introduced in Dark Deception: Unchecked Limitations. They serve as support enemies in Crazy Carnevil Zone 3.

Appearance
The Ghost Magicians resemble black, shadowy humanoids with Magician outfits, fashionable tophat included. They have a monocle, clawed fingers and trenchcoats. They have sharp teeth and black hollow eyes.

Although not seen, their frenzy mode is the same as normal except the black hollow eyes glow red and their bodies are now grey instead of a ghostly white.

Personality
The Ghost Magicians are charming and affable but also murderous and sadistic. They get along with the other monsters and serve as ring masters of the Carnival.

Powers
Mr Bean: Mmmmagik *snorts twice*

Behaviour
The Magicians will patrol the floor they spawn on functioning similar to Phantom Malak and the Murder Monkeys. When they become aggressive, they begins messing with the player directly, creating copies of himself, distorting the screen and even jumpscaring the player, rendering them vulnerable to the attacks of other enemies. Only the real Magician is capable of potentially killing workers, but contact with the copies will cause the player to be temporarily stunned, giving them a chance to attack.

When they catch the player, they will do one of 5 things:


 * 1) Stun the player (Stunned)
 * 2) Alert their location to other enemies (Revealed)
 * 3) Slow the player's speed by 10% (Slowness)
 * 4) Increase the cooldown of abilities by 25% (Hacked)
 * 5) Kill the player

After they do this they will disappear and respawn in the next minute.

Trivia

 * The Ghost Magicians are one of the only enemies who are capable of inflicting the player with various status effects.
 * The Ghost Magicians are all the same height as Malak's demon form.
