Knowledge (Arcana)Wizard is a class in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Wizards use spells in battle. They can learn any numbers of spells, but they need to prepare them in order to be used in battle. Wizards can also specialize in one school of magic, gaining additional spells and powers based on that school.
"Beyond the veil of the mundane hide the secrets of absolute power. The works of beings beyond mortals, the legends of realms where gods and spirits tread, the lore of creations both wondrous and terrible such mysteries call to those with the ambition and the intellect to rise above the common folk to grasp true might. Such is the path of the wizard. These shrewd magic-users seek, collect, and covet esoteric knowledge, drawing on cultic arts to work wonders beyond the abilities of mere mortals. While some might choose a particular field of magical study and become masters of such powers, others embrace versatility, reveling in the unbounded wonders of all magic. In either case, wizards prove a cunning and potent lot, capable of smiting their foes, empowering their allies, and shaping the world to their every desire."

Wizard Abilities
Arcane Bond
At 1st level, Wizards form a powerful bond with an object or a creature. This bond can take one of two forms: a familiar or a bonded object. A familiar is a magical pet that enhances the wizard's skills and senses, while a bonded object is an item a wizard can use to cast additional Spells.
Wizard Bonus Feat
At 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th level, a Wizard gains a bonus feat. At each such opportunity, he can choose a metamagic feat, spell focus feat, or any other spellcaster feat. The Wizard must still meet all prerequisites for a bonus feat, including caster level minimums.
Wizard Proficiencies
Wizards are proficient with the club, dagger, heavy crossbow, light crossbow, and quarterstaff, but not with any type of armor or shield. Armor interferes with a wizard's movements, which can cause his spells with somatic components to fail.
Scribe Scrolls
Allows you to craft scrolls during camping.
Cantrips
Wizards can cast a number of Cantrips, or 0-level spells. These Spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not extended when cast and may be used again.
Specialist School
A wizard that chooses to specialize in one school of magic, gaining additional Spells and powers based on that school. This choice must be made at 1st level, and once made, it cannot be changed. A Wizard that does not select a school receives the universalist school instead.
Each arcane school gives the wizard a number of school powers. In addition, specialist wizards receive an additional Spell slot of each spell level he can cast, from 1st on up. Each day, a Wizard can prepare a spell from this specialty school in that slot. This spell must be in the wizard's spellbook. A wizard can select a spell modified by a metamagic feat to prepare in his school slot, but it uses up a higher-level spell slot. Wizards with the universalist school do not receive a school slot.
