Description [ ]

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

Background [ ]

Widely respected in most societies, wizards of Pillars of Eternity are men and women of high education and farthermost mental bailiwick, if non e'er outright intelligence. Wizards are sometimes called navigators of the mortal soul, charting out and practicing the precise ways in which "ordinary" people tin unlock the ability within of themselves. Using their cognition to truly spectacular ends, wizards rely not only on ancient practices simply too their ain inquiry to propel them forrard. Far from being occult or protected knowledge, nigh wizards' spells are simply and then incredibly complex and physically demanding that even practiced wizards cannot invoke them without the employ of expensive, peculiarly-enchanted tomes.

And what practice the tomes incorporate? Instructions on ways to utilize ane's soul to modify reality, to warp fourth dimension around enemies, to make skin as tough as stone, to counter even the near powerful magic, to invoke assurance of flame, bolts of lightning, gouts of acid, to conjure nightmares out of thin air. Truly, the possibilities open to wizards seem to exceed even those of what priests can telephone call upon through their faith. And though whatever magician may set up several tomes, an inexperienced caster is non capable of channeling power through the log-thick, anvil-heavy, dog-eared grimoires of wizened archmagi. Such novices must alternate between more modest selections, relying on their less demanding spells and talents when they are unable to call upon their tomes.

Wizards are often assumed to be masters of occult lore. While this certainly applies to their knowledge of spells, many wizards are so narrowly-focused that they are ignorant of outside culture and history. It is also not uncommon for wizards to delight as much in mechanical curiosities as rogues. Because their powers make them targets in battle, a surprising number of wizards are quite fit, even if they aren't specially stiff.^[i]

Wizards use grimoires, arcane books made with rare materials that can absorb and temporarily concord fragments of ambience soul energy that are in the world all around them and gather them into their grimoires, like a magical capacitor and and then redirect that energy.^{[ii] [3]} Unlike priests and druids, wizards do non personally shape the magic that is released. Instead, their grimoires' spell pages do about of the piece of work. The wizard'southward specialty is in understanding how to help the magic flow in and out of the grimoire without going haywire. As wizards continue to inquiry, more spells are created every year. Some spells remain in the individual collections of individual wizards while others see widespread distribution and can be institute in grimoires all over the known world.^[two]

Spells and grimoires [ ]

In Pillars of Eternity [ ]

Grimoires are used to store and remember spells that the wizard has learned. Wizards can simply cast the spells which are listed in the currently equipped grimoire, and a unmarried grimoire can only hold 4 spells of each level^[5] For whatever given spell level, wizards have potential access to more spells than any other caster class, but their admission at any detail moment is always express past their current grimoire.^[half-dozen] You tin modify the grimoire during combat, but switching grimoires disables spellcasting for a brusque while.^[7] You lot can rearrange your spells/grimoires whenever yous similar (outside of gainsay) and once y'all have learned a spell, it'south available to use in equally many grimoires as yous'd like.^[8]

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 enquiry it.^[two] However spells learned this manner cannot be used if they are beyond the wizards current ability level. ^[9] Wizards too learn one or 2 new spells when they gain a level, just they can't cull to learn unique spells on level up.^[two]

Roughly 1-quarter to one-third of spells are named after their creator. Among these named wizards, Concelhaut and Minoletta take notably invented the highest number of spells.^[ten]

Some unique spells are only plant in grimoires, and cannot be learned by leveling up.

In Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire [ ]

Grimoires in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire are functionally very different to those in Pillars of Eternity, and are non as integral to spell casting as they were previously. Instead of being used to store and bandage spells, grimoires only serve to add additional spells to those that the wizard can currently cast. Spells from grimoires are only available while the grimoire is equipped, and cannot be learned permanently. The magician may merely bandage the spells of their electric current ability level or lower. Grimoires are unique, non-editable, and contain a stock-still set of predetermined spells, some of which can be unique to the grimoire. When a sorcerer learns a new spell via leveling upwardly, it is permanently bachelor to them without the use of a grimoire.

Talents [ ]

Suggestions [ ]

Wizards make for an awesome combination of supportive arms damage with the all-time cocky enhancing spell buffs. While a Wizard's Accuracy may not seem particularly high, proceed in mind that you are not ever aiming for Deflection. In your spell descriptions, information technology volition likewise mention if they target Reflex, Volition, or Fortitude. However, all the rules that apply to Deflection will also affect your act of targeting these other defense. If some detail or spell buff enhances your Accuracy, then it volition help you lot in all cases with every thing. Y'all should keep in heed though that Weapon Accuracy often receives a significantly higher boost than your Spell Accurateness. This very much proves true if you option up One-Handed Way with a weapon. Information technology's typically ameliorate for a wizard to focus on either a Pike or a Quarterstaff for melee combat if you prefer staying closely almost the forepart line of combat. Weapon Spells force this upon you.

1 other primal attribute of Wizards is their first-strike ability. Compared to other spellcasting classes, Wizards "front-load" their spell resources and have all their power immediately set up to go at the start of a fight. This in turn can let for i or two Wizards to beginning a combat with a very deadly blastoff-strike, by detecting but not however engaging a grouping of enemies and so simultaneously casting from maximum range their deadliest, widest AoE spells all at once. Such a ruinous initial onslaught can brand many fights a great bargain simpler to deal with.

Ane very dangerous aspect of Wizards that you must exist aware of, depending on what spells you equip them with (via either Training or grimoires), Wizards tin crusade dangerous amounts of friendly burn down with certain AoE spells peculiarly if under automated control. Spells that are either known for often doing this or are known to be very skillful at fugitive information technology will have supplemental descriptions on their pages accordingly.

Defensively speaking, a Wizard tin in a matter of 3 seconds or less apply most all of their protective Spell buffs. Other classes typically either pull from or mimic the Wizard set of spells if picking some thing to reduce damage. These Spell buffs may concluding a bit longer than one-half of a infinitesimal, but that'due south normally all you need to survive the nigh dangerous incoming part of hazardous combat. It usually takes 30 seconds to deal with your admittedly worst threats. Otherwise, you may observe your cocky facing a monstrous fauna. No other class has the level of self protection that a Wizard offers, but it's usually designed for y'all to handle things while your enemies focus on some one else. Some other classes provide immensely greater course resources to them selves than Wizard if your fights last too long, but a Wizard'due south abilities make battles so much shorter.

If you desire access to the weapon spells and defensive options available to Magician for another class you lot favor, so choosing to Multi Class may assistance you. However, Wizard is one of those few classes where staying equally a single class brings maximum power to your planning table, but information technology ways your character stays reliant on at least i other fellow member of your five member grouping at any one given fourth dimension. Often this means yous must initiate around the tanky type at your front line of combat. Your tactics should e'er revolve effectually assisting some 1 else beginning before your cocky equally a solo class. The greatest benefit for choosing to Multi Class comes at empowering your cocky with tactics more than just helping your young man allies. For this reason, Wizard + Monk presents the best option in that regard. Y'all still can apply the full power of Sorcerer as you see fit and able, and Monk gives both massive survivability and adept damage. It really matters if you see your character as the support type or the authoritative influence. A solo class Magician should never wander into the forepart line of combat before every one, but a properly built Wizard + Monk cures very much of that. A Wizard + Fighter (Unbroken) makes for an awesome tank every bit well if you both consistently prefer taking the first step into combat before your other called allies and Want to utilise a Medium or Big Shield.
