Wizard

A spell cast without study is merely an accident with ambitions. I choose the weakness, the distance, and the instant, then end the matter with destructive magic before less prepared minds have identified the question.

Wizards wear cloth and favor staves, swords, or daggers. We expose foes to further magic, enchant allied blows, cross great distances through teleportation, and can recover power through magically enhanced melee when an empty reserve demands an inelegant solution.

Bonus point advice

Intelligence directly increases spell damage and supplies the primary mana pool, so maximize it first. Put remaining points into Stamina for health and safer soloing, or Strength for carrying capacity. Dexterity is usually a low priority because this class rarely relies on physical attacks or weapon procs.

Choose for your playstyle: Favor Intelligence for maximum spell damage and mana. Choose Stamina for survival or Strength to carry more loot; choose Dexterity only for an unusual weapon-focused build.
