Wizard

A Wizard is a crafty spellcaster who commands elemental forces in battle, from the pure energy of the to searing  and. Typically, they must study long and hard to learn such incantions and so their physical strength suffers compared to other adventurers. Yet why would a Wizard choose to contest with brawn when he or she musters many of the longest range attacks in the land?
