TACTICS

During Combat The wizard prefers to prank others rather than cause deliberate harm.

If attacked with lethal force, she retaliates with cloudkill, empowered scorching ray, and magic missile.

DESCRIPTION

These irreverent illusionists are the bane of humorless adventurers. Their tricks are sometimes mistaken for enemy attacks, and even in dangerous situations, their own amusement comes first.
