Template:NPC The Wizard is a Hardmode NPC that sells magic-related items. The Wizard can be acquired via open areas in a Dungeon or anywhere underground during Hardmode. He can be found at the cavern layer or lower, where he spawns rarely and appears to be bound, much like the Goblin Tinkerer and Mechanic. Talking to him will free him, after which he will respawn as long as a vacant house is available, even if killed.
