The Wizard is a Hardmode NPC vendor who sells magic-related items. As soon as the Wall of Flesh has been defeated, he rarely spawns in the cavern layer or below. Similar to the Goblin Tinkerer, Mechanic, and Stylist, he first spawns as the stationary Bound Wizard. Talking to him will free him, after which he will respawn as long as a vacant house is available, even if killed.
When enemies are in his vicinity, the Wizard hurls fireballs at them in a similar fashion to the Flower of Fire.

Tips

Trivia

- Most of the Wizard's names refer to wizards from popular culture:
- Gwentor may be a reference to Gwent The Witcher Card Game, a spin-off card game from The Witcher 3,
- Merlin from the Matter of Britain,
- Michael Moorcock's fictional character Elric of Melniboné,
- Ningauble from the adventures of the two sword-and-sorcery heroes Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, and
- Leomund, Fizban, Magius, and Dalamar from the Dungeons & Dragons settings Greyhawk and Dragonlance.
- The name Sargon may be a reference to Sargon of Akkad, first ruler of the Akkadian Empire king, or to Sargon the Sorcerer, a fictional mystic, superhero and sorcerer appearing in DC Comics publications.
- The name Xanadu is a reference to Shangdu, the capital of Kublai Khan's Yuan dynasty in Ancient China, which is also known as "Xanadu".
- Many of the rest, including Hirael, Maelor, Arwyn, and possibly Berwyn, refer to elves created by English author and scholar J. R. R. Tolkien, mostly from the collection of mythopoeic works The Silmarillion and the epic high fantasy novel The Lord of the Rings.
- The quote "Ever wanted an enchanted ring that turns rocks into slimes? Well neither did I." is a reference to the first mod in Terraria which allowed turning blocks into enemies.
