Wizard Class Overview – Solasta 2

Wizards spend their lives studying magic, learning more and more powerful and wondrous spells. Despite their weakness in physical combat, their magical abilities make them dangerous foes.

Please note that, for now, the info in this section is a Work in Progress and partially speculative. It will be refined when Solasta II’s early access launches.

Here is what your Wizard will start with at Level 1 in Solasta II:

  • Weapon Proficiencies – Daggers, Darts, Quarterstaves, Light Crossbows
  • Armour Proficiencies – None
  • Saving Throw Proficiencies – Intelligence & Wisdom
  • Skill Proficiencies – Choose 2 from Arcana, History, Insight, Investigation, Medicine, Religion
  • Spellcasting – You can cast spells and cantrips from the Wizard spell list. You will unlock more powerful spells as you level up.
  • Ritual Casting – You can cast a spell as a ritual if it has the ritual tag and you have it in your spellbook. The spell doesn’t need to be prepared.
  • Magical Crafting – You can scribe magic scrolls and use enchanting equipment.
