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 Conjurations and Summoning 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.
