Lore

The masters of academic magic, wizards are students of arcane traditions that stretch back beyond the boundaries of recorded history. Wizards are a highly organized group, often forming academies or guilds devoted to research and development in magical studies, and tend to favor environments where inquiry, experimentation, debate, and the dissemination of knowledge are encouraged. Many accomplished wizards eventually become known for their eccentricity, egos, and unquenchable interest in all things arcane and occult.

Widely respected in most societies, wizards are men and women of high education and extreme mental discipline, if not always outright intelligence. Wizards are sometimes called navigators of the mortal soul, charting out and practicing the precise ways in which “ordinary” people can unlock the power inside of themselves. Using their knowledge to truly spectacular ends, wizards rely not only on ancient practices but also their own research to propel them forward. Far from being occult or protected knowledge, most wizards’ spells are just so incredibly complex and physically demanding that even practiced wizards cannot invoke them without the use of expensive, specially-enchanted tomes called grimoires.

Overview

Wizards use grimoires, arcane books made with rare materials, that can absorb and temporarily hold fragments of ambient soul energy from the world around them. Their grimoires act like magical capacitors that store and redirect that energy. Unlike priests and druids, wizards do not personally shape the magic that is released. Instead, their grimoires’ spell pages do most of the work. The wizard’s specialty is in understanding how to help the magic flow in and out of the grimoire without going haywire. As wizards continue to research, more spells are created every year. Some spells remain in the private collections of individual wizards while others see widespread distribution and can be found in grimoires all over the known world.

Wizards’ spells often focus on area-damaging effects and personal defense. They have access to a dizzying array of spells, but may only cast out of their currently-equipped grimoire.

Wizard Companion

Aloth

Race: Wood Elf

Sex: Male

Culture/Faction: Aedyre/Leaden Key

Age & Appearance: 62 years old, slender elf with pale skin and straight, dark brown hair.

Description: Obsessive, detail-oriented, deferential, instructive, dutiful, imperturbed by violence.

Tactics

AoE Control/Damage Build

Advantages: High Damage Output, AoE, Crowd Control, Flexibility

Disadvantages: Low Health/Endurance, Low Deflection, High Micro

Strategy

The Control/Damage hybrid build is a devastating way to play the wizard class. In tough fights, ensure the success of your more potent spells by using Eldritch Aim often before casting. If enemies are grouped together consider locking them down with Fetid Caress or Call to Slumber. Then once their defenses have been stripped, hit them with some heavy damage with Fireball or Blast of Frost. Foe AoE spells like Gaze of the Adragan are great for when enemies are surrounding your allies and are the key elements that make this build shine.

Equipment

Wands, Rods, and Sceptres are best suited for this build.

Armor depends on playstyle and comfort. Lighter armor provides more speed for more rapid crowd control and AoE spellcasts, while heavier armor provides a much needed security benefit. If your wizard is dying often, try wearing heavier armor.

Alternate Build

The wizard has a wealth of spells and can even fight in Melee if desired. When doing this, take spells like Concelhaut’s Parasitic Staff and Citzal’s Spirit Lance for offense, and focus on maintaining spells like Ironskin and Mirrored Image for defense. If things get rough, use Infuse With Vital Essence, or Dimensional Shift to escape. Build similar to the Barbarian Striker, but consider putting a few more points into Resolve and Perception to balance out defensively. Heavier armor is a must, as the wizard doesn’t have a lot of Health and Endurance, but taking Wound Binding earlier can help to compensate for this.

Spells

Wizards can cast a fixed number of spells before they must rest to recover their uses. They can cast any combination of different spells up to the per-rest limit, but may only cast spells from their currently equipped grimoire. Grimoires can carry a limited number of spells, so powerful wizards must switch grimoires to access their full arsenal of spells.

A single grimoire can hold only four spells of any given level. For any given spell level, wizards have potential access to more spells than any other caster class, but their access at any particular moment is always limited by their current grimoire. You can change the grimoire during combat, but switching grimoires disables spellcasting for a short while. You can rearrange your spells/grimoires whenever you like (outside of combat). Once you’ve learned a spell, it’s available to use in as many grimoires as you’d like.

If wizards come across a spell in an enemy’s grimoire, they can choose to learn that spell for the cost (in copper pieces) required to research it. They also learn one new spell every time they gain a level, but they can’t choose to learn unique spells on level up.

There are six spell levels in Pillars of Eternity. On the first level, the wizard gains access to the first spell level; on the third level, he/she gains access to the 2nd spell level; and on the 5th level, he/she gains access to the 3rd spell level.
