Hedge Wizard
This page is about the player background. For the monster, see Hedge Wizard (monster). For the playing mode, see Hedge Wizard mode.
Wizards are magicians who do not specialize in any area of magic, making them a jack of all trades, master of none when compared to more focused spellcasters. Wizards enter the Dungeon with the Magic Dart spell in memory.

Strategy
The Wizard is one of the best spellcaster backgrounds. What they lack in initial firepower, they more than make up for with high Spellcasting and access to some of the best utility spells (Blink, Mephitic Cloud, Conjure Flame, Repel Missiles). On the downside, Wizards are forced to invest heavily in Conjurations and elemental magic to boost their offensive repertoire.
