Wizard

The Wizard is a Hardmode NPC vendor who sells magic-related items. As soon as the Wall of Flesh has been defeated, he rarely spawns in the cavern layer or below. Similar to the Goblin Tinkerer, Mechanic, Golfer, Tavernkeep and Stylist, he first spawns as the stationary Bound Wizard. Talking to him will free him, after which he will respawn as long as a vacant house is available, even if killed.

He will occasionally replace his regular quote with a comment about the player's luck. This is the only way to estimate a player's luck value in the game.

When enemies are in his vicinity, the Wizard hurls fireballs at them in a similar fashion to the Flower of Fire.

Tips

 * The Dungeon contains a large number of open areas that may provide the most frequent opportunities for the Wizard to spawn. Until defeating Plantera, no new Hardmode enemies spawn there, making it a safe and quick place to search for him.
 * A Hunter Potion can be used to locate the Wizard.
