This female 19 year old female wizard was sent to the [[Zann Esu]] [[mage clan]], but later handed over to the powerful [[Vizjerei]] since she was a "rude and uncooperative student," that the smaller mage clan could not control. They hoped the harsh discipline at Vizjerei "would break her anarchic spirit." Yet even the Vizjerei instructors were unable to rein her in. She was continually being caught seeking out dangerous and forbidden magics without care for herself or anyone around her.
[[Valthek]], a great Vizjerei mage confronted her and she attacked him. She somehow relied on trickery and deceit or some sort of ancient incantations to render Valthek unconscious and then proceeded to flee the city immediately after the encounter. The extensive property damage was assumed to be the result of Valthek's [[magic]]al prowess, not the young wizard.
==Class Design==
The Wizard is an aggressive archetypal magic wielder founding his powers on the aggressive fierceness of the storm, the arcane and conjuration. Both the male and female wizards are rebellious, headstrong, impulsive, and brilliant. Too smart and arrogant to fit into the authority of the sorcerer schools of the [[mage clan]]s. Always on the top of their skills and even smarter than their teachers, cocky and self assured.

* [[Conjuration_Skill_Tree|Conjuration]].
All three trees have a combination of active and passive skills. Active skills are used in combat, while the passive skills usually boost or change the behaviour of the active skills.
====Conjuration Skills====

This is where the classic [[Hydra]] spell is located, as well as the powerful [[meteor]]. The This tree can also be used to increase or modify other spells, similarly similar to the Arcane tree.

In the [[GamesCom 2009 demo]], we saw the male version of the in-game wizard the first time.
22nd of September 2009, [[Bashiok]] announced the Wizard will not be using traditional [[Mana]], but a [[resource pool|resource]] more specialised specialized for the class. [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/bashiok-on-non-mana-resources-and-cinematics/]
