 {{OrWi}}s are one of the most versatile characters in the game, as they can easily stack up physical base damage while keeping hold most of their glyphs. As {{s|PISORF}} works off base damage, and the wizard gets a 25% discount on its cost, an {{OrWi}} can make this spell a very powerful weapon. The {{r|Orc}} also gets a lot of use out of physical combat glyphs such as {{s|BYSSEPS}} (1 mana), {{s|GETINDARE}} (2 mana) and {{s|CYDSTEPP}}.
-{{ElWi}}s are strong because more mana = more fireballs = good. {{a|MAGIC AFFINITY}} allows to exploit {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} without requiring Mystera's Mystic Balance, and you can easily cast 4 or even 5 fireballs at once with an {{ElWi}}.

You can convert health potions into mana after you get all six glyphs, if you want.
 {{GnWi}}s are strong because mana is an important resource to wizards, so obviously more mana potions can mean a lot for the wizard, especially against bosses.

 {{g|The Earthmother}} is a powerful deity for wizards, as {{boon|Greenblood}} bonus damage can be taken multiple times and is inflicted with every cast of {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}} or {{s|PISORF}}, and repeatable {{boon|Clearance}} gives a wizard exactly two fireballs every time. Holding on to {{s|IMAWAL}} until the late game to grab lots of bonus experience, together with utility spells to get around plants that spawn in bad locations without having to kill them, is also easy for Wizards to do.
-{{g|Mystera Annur}} may seem to be an obvious choice as the goddess of magic, although {{boon|Mystic Balance}} is usually harmful to a Wizard who already has discounted spell costs. Still, she offers {{boon|Magic}}: couple of mana points for very little cost, and is generous with her piety. If no better deity is available in the endgame, Wizards can recover a significant amount of mana by converting their stored glyphs with {{boon|Refreshment}}, and her {{boon|Weakness}} can help with resists.

-The Wizard is the first class unlocked at the Mage Tower and a very flexible and potent spellcaster. The most obvious strength of the Wizard is the reduced casting cost due to {{a|MAGIC AFFINITY}} trait, which is very noticeable with repeatable combat spells such as {{s|BURNDAYRAZ}}, {{s|APHEELSIK}}, {{s|PISORF}}, and {{s|BYSSEPS}}. A wizard can cast two fireballs out of the gate with no preparations, and quickly gains access to stronger combinations. Wizards also build stacks of {{t|Burning}} at double the rate, meaning the damage picks up quite quickly when repeatedly fireballing enemies.

 {{a|MAGIC SENSE}} allow wizards to find all the glyphs quickly and hold all of them at the same time. Wizards can accumulate significant conversion bonuses without the need to convert many glyphs due to {{a|MAGIC AFFINITY}}. More than any other class, a Wizard is likely to have the right glyph as a tool to deal with specific situations or enemies.

 The wizard is flexible enough that most deities can be made to work well, with the notable exception of {{g|Taurog}}.
