Players could add a rune to a Wizard spell and create new effects such as hitting more targets or causing damage in a greater area.

[[Image:Wiz-frost-nova1.jpg|thumb|175px|<span style="font-size:90%;">Wizard casting [[Storm_Skill_Tree|Frost Nova]].</span>]]The [[Wizard]] was not a huge surprise for most Blizzard fans when she was revealed at BlizzCon 2008, but the fact that so many of the '''[[Wizard skills]]''' were available for us to study and collect in DiabloWiki was quite a surprise. The poor [[Witch Doctor]] only had a [[Witch Doctor skills|handful of skills]]!
From the different skill trees, we saw spectacular spell effects such as a [[Conjuring_Skill_Tree#Meteor Storm|Meteor Storm]], [[Arcane_Skill_Tree#Slow Time|Slow Time]] or "[[Storm_Skill_Tree#Electrocute|Electrocute]]" (more commonly known as "Chain Lightning").
So take a look at the very impressive [[Wizard skills|skill trees of the Wizard]]:
* '''[[Conjuring Skill Tree]]'''
* '''[[Arcane Skill Tree]]'''
* '''[[Storm Skill Tree]]'''
