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, 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.

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

The wizard prefers to live in the Hallow. The Wizard loves the Golfer, and likes the Merchant and the Party Girl.
