			You owe allegiance to no man, aye, but a
			demon or god may hold sway upon your
			soul. You are a tight-lipped warlock studying
			ancient tomes, a witch corrupted by black magic,
			a demonologist trading soul-slivers for secrets, or an
			enchanter muttering chants in lost tongues. You are
			one of many foul mortals clutching at power. Will
			you succeed? Low-level wizards are indeed very
			powerful, but high-level wizards fear for their souls.
			Wizards control magic. At least, they attempt to.
			Mortal magic is unpredictable and wild but powerful.
			Unlike clerics whose faithful service is rewarded
			with divine powers, wizards wield magic through
			mastery and dominance of forces in which
			they are not always voluntary participants.
			Wizards are sometimes trained in combat,
			but are rarely a match for warriors or clerics
			in a clash of worldly weapons.


			Hit points: A wizard gains 1d4 hit points
			at each level.


			Weapon training: A wizard is trained
			in the use of the dagger, longbow, longsword,
			shortbow, short sword, and staff.
			Wizards rarely wear armor, as it hinders
			spellcasting.


			Alignment: Wizards pursue magical arts according
			to their natural inclinations. Chaotic wizards study
			black magic. Neutral or lawful wizards seek control
			over elements. Wizards of all persuasions practice
			enchantment.


			Caster level: Caster level is a measurement of a wizard’s
			power in channeling a spell’s energy. A wizard’s
			caster level is usually his level as a wizard. For
			example, a 2nd-level wizard usually has a caster
			level of 2.


			Magic: Magic is unknown, dangerous, and inhuman.
			Even the best wizards occasionally fail to
			properly harness a spell, with unpredictable results.
			Wizards thus inculcate their preferred magics, lest
			they err in casting a spell and corrupt themselves
			with misdirected magical energies. At 1st level a
			wizard determines 4 spells that he knows, representing
			years of study and practice. As his comprehension
			expands, a wizard may learn more spells of progressively
			higher levels. A wizard knows a number of
			spells as shown on table 1-12, modified by his Intelligence
			score.


			Known spells are determined randomly (see Chapter
			5: Magic). They may be of any level for which the
			wizard is eligible, as shown by the max spell level
			column. The wizard chooses the level before making
			his die roll. Higher-level spells are more powerful
			but harder to cast – and there are consequences
			for failure.


			Wizards cast spells by making a spell check. A
			wizard’s spell check is usually 1d20 + Intelligence
			modifier + caster level. In some cases, a wizard may
			roll a different die on the spell check (see Mercurial
			Magic).


			Supernatural patrons: Wizards weave magic spells
			in consultation with powers from supernatural
			places and the outer planes. Demons and devils,
			angels, celestials, ghosts, outsiders, daevas, genies,
			elementals, Chaos Lords, spirits, elder gods, alien
			intelligences, and concepts foreign to mortal comprehension
			whisper secrets in exchange for favors
			best left unexplained. In everyday concourse, these
			secrets manifest as spells; in dire circumstances, the
			wizard can invoke one of his patrons directly and
			call for material assistance. This sort of request is
			called invoking a patron.


			To invoke a patron, the wizard must spellburn
			at least 1 point of an ability score (see page 107)
			and cast the spell invoke patron. There may be additional
			requirements depending on the specific
			circumstances. Presuming the patron condescends
			to attend to the wizard, some negotiation may be
			required: a bauble exchanged, a secret name spoken,
			a sacrificial token burned, or maybe a quest
			performed. If the patron deigns to act, it sends an
			emissary to assist the wizard in the way the patron
			deems most appropriate.


			Invoking a patron is powerful magic. Do not use it
			lightly.
