Wizard mode

Version 0.12: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Wizard mode (or wizmode) is a way for players to create a character and modify it freely. The player can modify the race, experience level, skill levels, and items of the character. They can add money, monsters, portals, shops, and stairs to levels. In this mode, the player can go down to zero health, and then if the player chooses to, have their health returned to maximum.

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!
