Rings of wizardry auto-identify regardless of skill

-Good for spellcasters, especially in the early game. Wizardry is always better for decreasing failure rate than a [[ring of intelligence]]. For casters, the single biggest jump in power is when "failure rate is too high to try casting a spell" turns into "failure rate is low enough to try casting a spell"; wizardry can help do that.
+Good for spellcasters, especially in the early game. Wizardry is always better for decreasing failure rate than a [[ring of intelligence]]. For casters, the single biggest jump in power is when a spell goes from "failure is too high to be used" to "failure is low enough to be used"; wizardry can help reach that.
 Once you can comfortably cast a given spell without wizardry, a ring of intelligence (which also increases [[spell power]]) or a defensive ring will likely be preferable. Wizardry is useless for those who aren't casting any spells to begin with.
