Wizards draw their power from the Arcane Realm, which they spend years studying to master. They are the most diverse spellcasters and have control over a vast arsenal of magic. For every Wizard level trained, you may actually learn 2 spells (though they must still be your Wizard level or lower). Typically, wizards prioritize Arcana and Will over all else, often at the cost of physical strength and endurance. Because of this, they prefer light ranged weapons (if any) to stay out of the heat of combat.
