 ==History==
-*The wizardry cap will be removed in [[0.31]].
+*Prior to [[0.31]], there was a raw failure multiplier cap of 50%. This meant you could only have 5 sources of wizardry apply at once, or Vehumet and 1 source of wizardry.
 *Big Brain was introduced in [[0.27]].
 *Prior to [[0.26]], [[staff of wizardry|staves of wizardry]] existed, which gave a rank of wizardry.
 *Prior to [[0.25]], [[potion of brilliance]] provided a temporary wizardry bonus.
 *Prior to [[0.14]], a staff of wizardry granted a better wizardry bonus than a [[ring of wizardry]].
