The Wizard is a mage class in Divinity: Original Sin 2.

“

A scholar of magic specialised in starting and ending battles with a flick of the wrist, exacting swift victory from safe distance.

— In-game description

Overview

The Wizard is an offensive spellcaster preset that pairs Geomancer with Pyrokinetic magic. Geomancer spells hurl earth and create oil surfaces, while Pyrokinetic spells ignite those surfaces and deal fire damage, making the two schools highly synergistic. The preset favours Intelligence and Constitution, and starts dual wielding two wands.

Like all classes in Divinity: Original Sin 2, the Wizard is a starting preset rather than a permanent choice. Attribute and ability points can be allocated freely on each level-up, and full respecification is available from Act Two onward via the magic mirror aboard the Lady Vengeance. Enabling the Fort Joy Magic Mirror gift bag feature also makes a mirror available in Act One.

Of all origin characters, Fane uses this preset by default.
