Version 0.34: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
Wizard mode (wizmode) is Crawl's debug mode. It allows the player to create a character, modify it freely, avoid death, and test all sorts of situations.
Wizmode is invaluable for researching items, monsters, species, backgrounds, gods, branches, vaults, and general game mechanics. Performing experiments in wizmode is an excellent way to contribute to this wiki – please edit our pages with what you have learned!
Contents
Entering Wizmode
You can enter wizmode by pressing '&' after creating a character. When you attempt to enter, the game warns you:
WARNING: ABOUT TO ENTER WIZARD MODE! If you continue, your game will not be scored! Do you really want to enter wizard mode?
Type 'wiz' to confirm.
Wizard mode is disabled in online servers, not only for the cheating aspect, but also because it could be used to easily crash the server. In order to get access to wizmode, download an offline version of Crawl.

Strategy
You obviously can't go into wizmode if you want your game to be scored. However, Crawl is an offline game, meaning you're free to do what you want. There's nothing stopping you from, say, grabbing the Axe of Woe, setting Death's Door duration to infinity, and crushing the game.
Players can use wizmode to test a number of things useful in regular games, not limited to the list below:
- f/F has a fight simulator, allowing you to test your weapon DPS and damage taken against any given monster (spawn enemies with M).
- The level of skill / intelligence required to cast a spell. Use A and s to set skills to desired points, @ to set Str/Int/Dex, and o to create any desired armour.
- Create a vault, to see it in-game.
- Details on how a given mechanic works.
