Wizard equipment

If you DO run out of Spellpoints... wear a Crossbow. Or play an Elf so you can use a long Bow. Also, set up any wands you have ( magic Missle or Burning Bands) in your weapon "quick slots"

Xilinx is a second level Elvin Wizard. I keep Mage Armour, Magic Missle, Burning Hands, and Shield memorized.

I have my Staff, Long Bow, and 2 wands set up in the 4 weapon slots so I can switch them out fast.

I use my Bow a lot in groups and swap to my staff to cast Burning hands when the bad guys are in groups of 2 or more.

Don't forget to cast Mage Armour on the Rogue in your group. Especially if the Cleric is having to heal him a lot.

Keep your starting Quarter Staff. It enhances the damage on your 1st level spells by 20% ( your 1st level spells will be your main damage spells untill your 5th Level ) which is a lot better than +1, +2, or +3 to bonk a Kobold on the head.

Xilinx made 3rd Level. I'm still using my starting Staff. I looted Black Widow Bracers +4 AC that will not stack with Mage Armour. Which is a good thing because it frees up a spell slot. I now just keep Shield memorized because it stacks with the bracers. But the spell is of a very short duration so be sure to trun on "Extend Spell" before you cast it. And don't forget to turn off "Extend Spell" after you cast Shield. No point waisting spell points to "Extend" the time duration of Magic Missle.

I spent a lot of Gold on a Robe of Power 3. Well worth it for the extra spell points.

You may want to concider choosing the alignment of "True Neutral" so you can use a "Robe of Stability"
