- Hi-
- I have ascended many a Wizard, and I am surprised that nobody else
- mirrors my opinions on the best first wishes for young Mages.
-
- SPOILERS FOLLOW:

- Wizards are by far the SINGLE EASIEST CHARACTER to win with, once
- you know their tricks. Of course, this may involve certain well-known
- spoilers, that some consider cheating, but are well within the scope of
- the game.
- There is a reason why the ATHAME cannot be gained by either polypiling
- or sacrificing. Only Wizards, and the finders-of-dead-wizards can get
- one. I have been known to wish for an Athame when playing less well-
- endowed characters, such as Barbarians and Tourists. :)
- This much said, when your first level wizard is granted a wish, do
- not wish for +3 back dragon scale mail. Do not wish for speed boots,
- Mjollnir, Excalibur, Fire Brand, a Helm of Telepathy, Amulet of Life
- Saving, cursed scrolls of genocide, blessed potions of gain ability, or
- any other such minor trinkets.
- Wish first and foremost for a ring of LEVITATION. If you have this
- already, get a ring of conflict too. You will now win the game. Don't
- forget that that nice cloak of magic resistance also comes in handy. If
- you still feel that a Wizard's best wish is for Fire Brand or whatever,
- go play a Barbarian and leave the Wizarding to the Wizards.
-
- Once you have these items, go ahead and wish for the weapons and armor
- that are so prized by the other mortals.
