Wizard

A Wizard is a Weir who has the supernatural ability to perform charms with words. They are regarded as the strongest Weir. The first wizard and ancestor of all wizards is Nicodemus Snowbeard, and was the leader of the plot to assassinate Lady Aidan Ladhra. They were formerly the ruling Weir under the tenants of the Original Covenant. Wizards are very wary of Elicitors, as Elicitors are able to drain a Wizard of all of their magic, as well as be unaffected by magic of any kind. Wizards are often associated with the color gold.

Powers
As described by Nicodemus Snowbeard in The Wizard Heir, wizards can use magic in one of three ways: physically, mentally, or through spoken charms.

Physical magic is similar to the powers of a Warrior. Seph learns that physical magic is best for generating energy: light, heat, and air currents. Wizards can also induce pain through touch alone.

Mental magic is similar to the powers of an Enchanter. All wizards have the power of persuasion, which is usually enhanced by physical touch.

However, charms are the main source of a wizard's power. Through charms, they can shape and weave complex enchantments that alter reality on various levels. Charms are often spoken in some form of Latin.
