The Wizard is one of many different pre-made magic-based classes in Divinity: Original Sin II, but what makes this class different from the rest? The Wizard class, unlike other classes such as the cleric and enchanter, has no supporting skill lines to start. As such it is meant to be a devastating glass canon class.

This page of the Divinity Original Sin 2 guide contains a detailed description of Wizard. You'll get acquainted with the basic information on this class, recommended playstyle, as well as its biggest advantages and potential disadvantages.
Wizard is a class that combines HP regeneration with spells with combination of abilities into combos. The best race, in this case, is Lizard, due to his innate predisposition towards this type of classes. It should also be noted that the class talent increases the distance of spells, which may be important even in the case of ranged opponents.
Below, you can view starting parameters for this class.
Attributes
In the case of Wizard, there are two attributes that have been buffed by default.
Attribute's name | Value | Significance |
Intelligence | +2 | This is another character that can use magic and Intelligence provides you with a bonus to this attribute. Additional intelligence increases slightly the magical armor. |
Constitution | +1 | Thanks to the increased HP, the character is not as likely to die in the initial stage of a fight. |

Starting abilities
Icon | Name | Notes |
Searing Daggers | Shoot three fire daggers that deal damage and can ignite enemies. You can damage three different enemies, even far from each other. | |
Ignition | Damage all enemies around the character, dealing fire damage with chance of burning. Also ignites all flammable substances (e.g. oil). This one has a significant advantage - costs only 1 AP. | |
Fossil Strike | Works great combined with a bonus to fire damage. You can generate a patch of spilled oil and then ignite it with one of the above skills. |

Rasa | Predispositions | Commentary |
Elf | None | There are few things that you can use here. OF course, if you want to, you can create an Elf wizard, but it will be difficult to obtain any tangible effects. |
Human | Moderate | Just like above. The only difference here is that thanks to higher initiative, human can gain advantage. |
Dwarf | None | Nothing to work with here. |
Lizard | High | The doubled bonus to Intelligence considerably increases chances of dealing severe damage. Additionally, Lizard can use his racial ability thanks to which you can, e.g. set a pool of oil on fire. |
