Version 0.23: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Wizardry refers to items and effects that directly reduce your chance of failure when casting spells. These are provided by:
- Rings of wizardry (+3)
- Staves of wizardry (+4)
- Quaffing a potion of brilliance provides a temporary wizardry bonus (+6)
In addition, certain sources provide a wizardry-like reduction of failure rate (by 1/3) that stacks with wizardry:
- Vehumet provides a bonus to destructive spells for sufficiently pious worshipers not under penance
- Potions of brilliance
All of these sources stack but very weakly; the first 3 points of wizardry are about as good as the next 9. In no case can failure rate be reduced by better than half using wizardry. Notice that a potion of brilliance will reach the one-half cap by itself.
