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.

Names
The wizard may have any of the following names: Dalamar, Dulais, Elric, Arddun, Maelor, Leomund, Hirael, Gwentor, Greum, Gearroid, Fizban, Ningauble, Seonag, Sargon, Merlyn, Magius, Berwyn, Arwyn, Alasdair, Tagar, and Xanadu.

Most of these names refer to famous wizards in popular culture: Merlin from the Matter of Britain, Ningauble from the adventures of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, Leomund, Fizban, and Dalamar from Dungeons & Dragons settings Greyhawk and Dragonlance, and so on.

Tips

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

Trivia

 * 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?"

During day:

 * "I make a rather enchanting hot chocolate if you'd be inter... No? Ok."
 * "Do you want some magic candy? No? Ok."

During night: (perhaps a reference to the weeping angels from Doctor Who) When homeless When rescued
 * "Ever wanted an enchanted ring that turns rocks into slimes? Well neither did I."
 * "Someone once told me friendship is magic. That's ridiculous. You can't turn people into frogs with friendship." (a reference to the television show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic)
 * "I once tried to bring an Angel Statue to life. It didn't do anything." -- This quote is a continuation of a running in-game joke about how the Angel Statue has always been utterly useless.
 * "Are you here for a peek at my crystal ball?"
 * "I can see your future now... You will buy a lot of items from me!"
 * "Ohh, my hero!"
 * "Oh, how heroic! Thank you for saving me, young (man/lady)!"
 * "Now that we know each other, I can move in with you, right?" (This could possibly be a reference to Merasmus from Team Fortress 2, in which he is the roommate of an unlucky Soldier class)
 * "Thanks for saving me, friend! This bondage was starting to chafe."
