Hunched shoulders and a stooping posture, the mezic is humanoid in appearance, her clothes ill-fitting and made of simple cloth. Dark, beady eyes stare at you from beneath a mass of tangled grey hair as the mezic shuffles her hunched form back and forth. Its long, gnarled fingers contort in magical configurations as it glances maliciously about the area.
Hunting strategies
Casting the sorcerers' Corrupt Essence (703) effectively renders Mezic's practically harmless, since their main attacks are their spells.

Mezuzahs are mythologically notable for warding off dybbuks, malicious spirits that attempt to possess other bodies.
