Wizard blaster (Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition)
Wizards are supreme magic-users who define and fuel their spells through study and practice. Drawing on the subtle weave of magic that permeates the cosmos, Wizards cast spells of explosive fire, arcing lightning, subtle deception, and brute-force mind control. Their power comes from knowledge.
