Useful Info

Wizards are spell casters who can roast you with Fireballs or banish you into the Abyss. Fortunately, they are flimsy. You can find them in the late Dungeon, the Vaults, the Depths, and Lom Lobon's Pandemonium floor.

Tips & Tricks

Variant Wizards

Hell wizard 75.png You may encounter a mad acolyte of Lugonu when approaching certain rune vaults in the Abyss. These variant wizards always spawn wielding distortion-branded weapons and can cast Smiting, Malign Gateway, Blink, Blink Other, and Invisibility.

A devoted follower of Lugonu, driven mad by years of living in the Abyss.

"And when you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you."

-Friedrich Nietzche, "Beyond Good and Evil", 1886

A permanently silenced terrified wizard can often be found caged in one of Trog's possible altar vaults. It usually dies from Trog's wrath too fast for you to kill, but if you have a wand of digging, you can free and kill this mute wizard for about 600 XP.

A wild-eyed wizard whose tongue has been cut out, frantically mumbling and waving its arms but unable to cast a single spell.
