Wizard

The wizard is the primary spellcasting class in Dungeons & Dragons, capable of accessing the most powerful spells, and the greatest diversity of magic.

Original D&D: "Magic-User"

The magic-user is a class that uses spells and magic items to contribute to a party. Top-level magic users are noted as being the most powerful characters in the game, but they are fragile until high levels, requiring careful play to get to a high level.

Prime Requisite

Magic-users use Intelligence as their prime requisite. 2 points of Wisdom count as 1 point of Intelligence for magic-users.

Magic Item Use

Magic-users can use all magic items, except the weapons and armor of fighters. Magic-users may use daggers only.

Item Creation

At 11th level ("Wizard"), magic-users can create potions, scrolls, and other magic items (cost and time to craft vary with the value of the item). For example:

Item	GP Cost	Time Cost
Scroll of Spells	100 GP per spell level for each spell	1 week per spell level for each spell
Potion of Healing	250 GP	1 week
Potion of Giant Strength	1,000 GP	4 weeks
20 Enchanted Arrows	1,000 GP	4 weeks
+1 Armor	2,000 GP	2 months
Wand of Cold	10,000 GP	6 months
X-Ray Vision Ring	50,000 GP	1 year

Spell Research

A wizard can develop new spells of a level equal to or lower than the level of spell they can cast. Doing so takes the following investment, with the percentages indicating a percent chance of success when spending that amount of GP:

Level	20%	40%	60%	80%	100%	Time
1	2,000 GP	4,000 GP	6,000 GP	8,000 GP	10,000 GP	1 Week
2	4,000 GP	8,000 GP	12,000 GP	16,000 GP	20,000 GP	2 Weeks
3	8,000 GP	16,000 GP	24,000 GP	32,000 GP	40,000 GP	3 Weeks
4	16,000 GP	32,000 GP	48,000 GP	64,000 GP	80,000 GP	4 Weeks
5	32,000 GP	64,000 GP	96,000 GP	128,000 GP	160,000 GP	5 Weeks
6	64,000 GP	128,000 GP	192,000 GP	256,000 GP	320,000 GP	6 Weeks
