Skeletal Mages are viable in Hell if you have some skill adders and pay attention to the right mix of elements. You can form your own opinion on this matter though:
Skeletal Mage Missile Level = Skeleton Mastery Level + (Raise Skeletal Mage Level - 2) / 2
Example: Level 40 Skeleton Mastery + Level 40 Raise Skeletal Mage = Level 59 Missiles
The second term up there is rounded down and has a minimum value of 0. The damage for Skeletal Mage missiles at various levels are:
__________Fire________Cold________Lightning_____Poison

Ice bolts will chill for 1 second per level. Poison bolts have a base duration of 20 seconds at level 1, +10 seconds per level thereafter. I believe Skeletal Mages will shoot one missile every 24 frames as well.
Skeletal Mage Missile Level = Skeleton Mastery Level + (Raise Skeletal Mage Level - 2) / 2
