Wizard

The Wizard is a Hardmode NPC that sells magic-related items. The Wizard can be acquired via open areas underground during Hardmode, starting at the cavern layer, where he spawns rarely and appears to be bound, much like the Goblin Tinkerer and Mechanic. Talking to him will free him, after which he will respawn as long as a vacant house is available, even if killed.

Items sold
Once the Wizard has been freed, he will sell the following:

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

Tips

 * The Dungeon contains a large number of open areas that may provide the most frequent opportunities for the Wizard to spawn.

Trivia

 * Some of the Wizard's randomly generated names:
 * Merlyn is a variation on the classic wizard name, Merlin ("The Magician" or "The Enchanter"), which has been used in numerous medieval-themed written works and films, usually in association with King Arthur.
 * Fizban and Dalamar are references to the Dragonlance universe.
 * Xanadu is a reference to the classic 1980 fantasy film of the same name.
 * He may be slightly senile, as he confuses the player with NPCs of the same gender residing in Town.

Quotes

 * "Well, hi there, [name of another NPC same gender as the player]! What can I do for you today?"
