Wizard

The Wizard is an NPC, which must be saved from an underground part of the world after defeating the Wall of Flesh. His spawn location is completely random. Although he randomly spawns, there is a much higher chance of him spawning in the world's Dungeon. He will randomly spawn near you while you are exploring. Talking to him in this state will free him, and he will wander the area until he gets killed by any nearby enemy or hazard, or until you move far enough from him. After that, he will move into an available house like any normal NPC.

Once the Wizard has moved into a house, he will sell the following:

Note: As with all NPCs, right-clicking an item will allow multiple purchases rather than purchasing it one by one.
