Crew members of SS13, I offer you my sincerest greetings. My name is of no matter, but if you must call me something, you may call me The Quarter Wizard. I would like to inform you that I am the noble leader of the Wizards Federation.

You may be wondering, ''"Why, why mighty Quarter Wizard, why do you send wizards to the station to destroy us all?"''

You may be wondering, ''"Why, why mighty QuarterWizard, why do you send wizards to the station to destroy us all?"''


Well, denizen of the station, it's quite simple really: One or more of your crew has angered our magical Federation, and now you will all pay the price.

If you're lucky enough to only have certain members of the crew anger us, like that geneticist who once claimed that us magical folk are merely "products of genetics research", then you're more than likely to survive, assuming you give our wizard the means to escape early on. If not, well... Not even I, the mighty QuarterWizard can guarantee your safety. We train our wizards to be masters of many spells, so there is no saying how exactly you will succumb to our mighty wizards.

Use the Wizard's Ship you start in to familiarize yourself with the spells before you teleport onto the station. You can even re-learn the spells as often as you'd like as long as you're here. Take your time. No need to jump in right away.

Additionally, you can remotely view the station using your camera consoles. Looking for a good entry point is crucial to beginning your one-man invasion in style.

==Spells and Artifacts==
===Offensive===
Spells and items geared towards debilitating and destroying. You can reduce the cooldown by spending more points on the spell.


===Quartermaster Costume Party===
Items are not bound to you and can be stolen. Additionally they cannot typically be returned once purchased.
If you can, masquerade as a Quartermaster Supply Wizard. Not only will you look like the most powerful wizard of all time, but people may be liable to turn a blind eye to your presence. Combine this with some quick spellwork and you may just kill a bunch of people without getting caught.

|[[File:Mjollnirr.gif|64px]]||Mjolnir||The mighty hammer of Thor. Striking your foes with it will send them flying away from you, and can be thrown to achieve the same effect.||3||✗ ||
|This spell will charge your hand with a powerful energy that can blow up the next person or cyborg that you touch. Their brain will still be recoverable, but definitely hard to clone; you will also make no friends with either the crew or the ghosts observing you, as it is seen as a cheap way to kill.

!Flesh to Stone
|''STAUN EI!''
|Can turn even the angriest crew member into a comparatively calm statue. The spell will wear off eventually but is useful for neutralizing threats non-fatally or creating emergency cover. Keep in mind that when the spell wears off if the statue isn't in good shape anymore the crew member won't be either. Instead of gibbing the target and leaving a brain it turns the target into a solid statue. However after a certain amount of time the statue will revert back to the original target. By itself it's just a gimmick -- players turned into stone won't count as dead for objective purposes. However when this spell is paired with the "Staff of Animation" this becomes a spell even more devastating than Ei Nath or Fireballs.
 
(tl;dr: Use it with a Staff of Animation or just use Ei Nath.)

!Repulse
|''GITTAH WEIGH!''

For when you just don't give a fuck.

!Charge
|''DI'RI CEL!''
|Useful for recharging magical artifacts that typically run dry after a few shots. They've also been used in the past by enterprising wizards to recharge other things like energy weapons, spellbooks, and even other wizards!

!Staff of Animation
|A deadly weapon for a wizard who likes to steamroll their opposition. The staff of animation will shoot a bolt that brings whatever object it hits (besides complex machinery, tables or windows) to life. The animated object will then move and attack everyone in range but the person who spawned it (which is hopefully you). It has limited uses but recharges its magic over time. In combination with the Flesh to Stone spell, the Staff of Animation can be used to create player-controlled statues. These statues have a wide selection of unique powers (of the "MY EYES!" variety), are near-invincible  and receive explicit instructions to not harm or kill the Wizard. However, these statues may also blind you.
 
(tl;dr: Powerful, especially when paired with Flesh to Stone, until some chucklefuck steals the staff and sends the station infrastructure after YOU.)

!Bottle of Tickles
|This bottle of tickles, when broken, will attract a Laughter Demon. It will try to prank the crew (and you) by tickling them to submission.

[[File:Wand of healing.gif|64px]] '''Wand of Healing:''' This wand uses healing magics to heal the living and revive the dead. Rarely utilized within the Wizard Federation, for some reason.<br>
[[File:Wand of polymorph.gif|64px]] '''Wand of Polymorph:''' For when you just need a change. Be careful if using on yourself, as many potential forms lack arms to wield the wand!<br>

[[File:Wand of teleportation.gif|64px]] '''Wand of Teleportation:''' Will rip up and scatter anyone or anything caught in its path. Unlike teleportation spells employed by the wizard, this wand makes no qualms about depositing teleportees in space, fires, or the center of a black hole.<br>

==Faithful Apprentice==
You can select an artifact contract from your spellbook which will allow you to solicit the assistance of a <s>helpful</s> apprentice wizard. Using this contract will select a ghost who has the wizard role enabled and spawn them as your assistant. If no ghosts are available when the contact is used, it will remain usable until one is found. If you do keep yours around note that contracts can be used by non-wizards too. If you change your mind, you can click on your spellbook with an unused contract to refund your spent spell point. When you use the contract you are able to choose from four sets of two spells for the apprentice to learn.

==Suggested Starting Loadouts==
So you've been made a wizard but don't feel like going on a murderboner and would rather live peacefully among the crew? No problem! The staff are usually very friendly towards wizards [CITATION VERY MUCH NEEDED] if they announce themselves to be friendly and the AI is programmed not to harm them. So pop over to the HoP escorted by the Captain/HoS and request to be part of the station! Who knows, maybe you can be the Janitor! Just remember that you are by law and backstory an enemy of Nanotrasen. Don't get mad when some magic-hating sociopath tries to kill you. They'll try.
 
== Suggested Starting Loadouts ==
Your first time playing as a Wizard can be disorientating and very hard, but also demanding. Just figuring out what spells to take is half the gamemode onto itself, the other half is utilising those spells. As such this section will detail some basic, but robust, starting Wizard loadouts.

* If you use the scroll of teleportation, put it in your pocket and leave the teleportation win-dow open, when you select "Okay" on the window, you'll still teleport, even if it's not in your hands. You can also do this while stunned. So if your escapade as Gas-Mask Wizardtington the "Greyshirt" with a stolen ID ends up getting you tased, you can SCRYAR NILA INCINERATOR 3 times before they'll be able to cuff you, instead of throwing out a panic fireball and hoping he gets KO'd. This is far more useful to a robeless wizard than a robed wizard...as the robed one will likely just cast teleport/blink/jaunt if he ever gets stunned.

Wizard's Ship
The Wizard's Ship

Gamemode in rotation

Crew members of SS13, I offer you my sincerest greetings. My name is of no matter, but if you must call me something, you may call me The Quarter Wizard. I would like to inform you that I am the noble leader of the Wizards Federation.

You may be wondering, "Why, why mighty Quarter Wizard, why do you send wizards to the station to destroy us all?"

Well, denizen of the station, it's quite simple really: One or more of your crew has angered our magical Federation, and now you will all pay the price.

If you're lucky enough to only have certain members of the crew anger us, like that geneticist who once claimed that us magical folk are merely "products of genetics research", then you're more than likely to survive, assuming you give our wizard the means to escape early on. If not, well... Not even I, the mighty Quarter Wizard can guarantee your safety. We train our wizards to be masters of many spells, so there is no saying how exactly you will succumb to our mighty wizards.

But, for you lesser beings, I have archived a list of our most common spells, so as to assist you simpletons in identifying just how skilled and varied our wizards can be. Wizhat.PNG


Dress to Kill

If you are a Wizard, then remember to keep your gear on. Not only are they the latest in wizarding fashion, they are also a powerful magical amplifier. That's the Wizard's Hood, Robes, and Sandals. If you lose those, you are in a boatload of trouble.

Do everything in your power to keep your skirt on. Hurl spells, throw rocks, shout hurtful names at them. Whatever you do, don't let them touch the clothes.

Preparation

You start on board a Wizard Ship. You have 10 spell points to spend.

Use the Wizard's Ship you start in to familiarize yourself with the spells before you teleport onto the station. You can even re-learn the spells as often as you'd like as long as you're here. Take your time. No need to jump in right away.


Additionally, you can remotely view the station using your camera consoles. Looking for a good entry point is crucial to beginning your one-man invasion in style.

Min-Maxing

You can take any of your spells multiple times to upgrade them, generally giving them a lower cooldown.

Spells and Artifacts

Offensive

Spells and items geared towards debilitating and destroying. You can reduce the cooldown by spending more points on the spell.

Items are not bound to you and can be stolen. Additionally they cannot typically be returned once purchased.

Icon Name Description Cost Robed? Cooldown (seconds)
Fireballspell.png Fireball This spell fires an explosive fireball at a target. 2 6/5/4/3/2
Defaultspell.png Spell Cards Blazing hot rapid-fire homing cards. Send your foes to the shadow realm with their mystical power! 2 5/4/3/2/1
Rodspell.png Rod Form Take on the form of an immovable rod, destroying all in your path. Purchasing this spell multiple times will also increase the rod's damage and travel range. 2 30/25/20/15/10
Blindspell.png Blind This spell temporarily blinds a single target. 1 30/23.7/17.5/11.2/5
Mutatespell.png Mutate This spell causes you to turn into a hulk and gain laser vision for a short while. 2 40/37.5/35/32.5/30
Fleshtostone.png Flesh to Stone This spell charges your hand with the power to turn victims into inert statues for a long period of time. 2 60/40/30/20
Teslablast.png Tesla Blast Charge up a tesla arc and release it at a random nearby target! You can move freely while it charges. The arc jumps between targets and can knock them down if they don't have shock protection. 2 20/15.7/11.5/7.2/3
Defaultspell.png Lightning Bolt Fire a lightning bolt at your foes! It will jump between targets, but can't knock them down. Insulated gloves can protect people from the blast. 2 10/8.2/6.5/4.7/3
Lessersummonguns.png Lesser Summon Guns Why reload when you have infinite guns? Summons an unending stream of bolt action rifles that deal little damage, but will knock targets down. Requires both hands free to use. Learning this spell makes you unable to learn Arcane Barrage. 3 75/56.5/38/19.5/1
Arrow magic.png Summon Magic Arrows A spell that summons a homing arrow in the user's hand, ready to be shot out of a bow. It quickly becomes dull after hitting something. Can be quickly cast by pressing the 'quick-equip' key on an empty hand. You can also throw them!</nowiki> 1
Arcanebarrage.png Arcane Barrage Fire a torrent of arcane energy at your foes with this (powerful) spell. Deals much more damage than Lesser Summon Guns, but won't knock targets down. Requires both hands free to use. Learning this spell makes you unable to learn Lesser Summon Gun. 3 75/56.5/38/19.5/1
Curseoftheyard.png Curse of the Barnyard This spell dooms an unlucky soul to possess the speech and facial attributes of a barnyard animal. 2 15/12/9/6/3
Staff change.png Staff of Change Allows the wizard to randomly change anyone and anything into an alien, slime, lizardman, cyborg, Syndicate cyborg, monkey, or more! Although it has limited uses, it recharges its magic over time. 2
Staff of chaos.png Staff of Chaos Shoots random bolts of magic equal to any of the other wands (including wand of nothing). 2
Spellblade.gif Spellblade A sword capable of firing blasts of energy which rip targets limb from limb. 2
Breakbow.gif Break Bow An incredibly versatile bow that can be handled while retaining significant agility. Can be split into two blades which can be swung at the same time, as well as thrown and returned like boomerangs. Also comes with a quiver of unlimited arrows. 2
GrayCrate.png Rune Crate A wizard specialized in runecrafting is offering two chests full of runes! The problem is, he mixed up the contents of them so you won't know what you will get! Can include:

Icycle-rune.gifIcicle Rune: This obsidian rune has the ability to shoot icicles out of it. You do not want to hit yourself with it.
Mutation-rune.gifMutation Rune: This rune has the ability to mutate the target. Be careful, you don't want to mutate right?

Bloodvial.gif Bottle of Blood A bottle of magically infused blood, the smell of which will attract extradimensional beings (slaughter demons) when broken. Be careful though, the kinds of creatures summoned by blood magic are indiscriminate in their killing, and you yourself may become a victim. 2

These beings are similar to slaughter demons, but they do not permamently kill their victims, instead putting them in an extradimensional hugspace, to be released on the demon's death. Chaotic, but not ultimately damaging. The crew's reaction to the other hand could be very destructive. 1

Rituals

These powerful spells change the very fabric of reality. Not always in your favour.

Name Description Cost
Summon Ghosts Spook the crew out by making them see dead people. Be warned, ghosts are capricious and occasionally vindicative, and some will use their incredibly minor abilities to frustrate you. 0
Summon Portal Storm Terrorize the crew with a portal storm! Whatever crawls out of these portals will be a threat not just to the crew, but you as well! 1
Curse of Madness Curses the station, warping the minds of everyone inside, causing lasting traumas. Warning: this spell can affect you if not cast from a safe distance. 4

Faithful Apprentice

You can select an artifact contract from your spellbook which will allow you to solicit the assistance of a helpful apprentice wizard. Using this contract will select a ghost who has the wizard role enabled and spawn them as your assistant. If no ghosts are available when the contact is used, it will remain usable until one is found. If you do keep yours around note that contracts can be used by non-wizards too. If you change your mind, you can click on your spellbook with an unused contract to refund your spent spell point. When you use the contract you are able to choose from four sets of two spells for the apprentice to learn.

Destruction: Fireball + Magic Missile

Bluespace Manipulation: Jaunt + Teleport

Robeless: Knock + Mindswap

Healing: Forcewall + Charge/Staff of Healing

Once they have chosen a name, the spawned apprentice is given a set of blue robes, a single-use teleport scroll and an objective to keep you alive.

Remember that your survival is paramount! The round doesn't end if your apprentice dies, but do try to keep him alive.

The AI and You!

NOTICE: THE WIZ IS HUMAN (unless he is a lizard wizard or a Skeleton)

Usually, when you go on your long space adventure, you come across an AI.

The AI will either be nice to you and attempt to protect you from the evil crew, or it will track you the whole time, and attempt to trap you! (Luckily, you have been trained by the greatest!) If this happens, go into the AI core, and see how he can track you while it's dead.

If you're feeling nice and don't mind being stunned a few times, you can always pop into the upload! When you get inside, take a Freeform module, pop out, and make nice law explaining how you are practically god of the station, and return to the upload, and of course, upload it!

After that, the AI will be very nice to you, and serve you, his master.

Suggested Starting Loadouts

Your first time playing as a Wizard can be disorientating and very hard, but also demanding. Just figuring out what spells to take is half the gamemode onto itself, the other half is utilising those spells. As such this section will detail some basic, but robust, starting Wizard loadouts.

You only get five spells to chose, meaning your spell loadout will be limited. So don't overspecialize.

Stock

  • Magic Missile
  • Ethereal Jaunt
  • Blink
  • Knock

A basic, but robust setup. Gives you good offensive and defensive capabilities that favor hit and run attacks.

Using Ethereal Jaunt to launch an ambush, then using Magic Missiles to grant you an effective area stun attack. Blink and Knock offer an effective fallback to escaping a bad situation or if you screw up.

Offensive

  • Magic Missile
  • Disable Technology
  • Mutate
  • Fireball
  • Blink

Heavily oriented around attacking and killing the crew, you suffer from very little defensive spells, thus relying on being robust enough to kill anyone before they become a threat.

This loadout focuses on Magic Missiles and Mutate in order to kill, as well as Fireball to help deliver the coup de grâce. Disable Technology is effective in sapping all energy from Security Officers weapons while Blink offers a small defensive spell to get out of a bad spot.

Defensive

  • Magic Missile
  • Teleport
  • Ethereal Jaunt
  • Blink
  • Smoke OR offensive spell

This loadout focuses on survivability almost exclusively. You're going to have to rely on stealing station weapons in order to kill people, however you yourself will be really hard to kill as you have a large array of defensive and retreat spells to use.

Stealth

CHOOSE A REALISTIC NAME.

No Robes

  • Fireball
  • Knock
  • Mind Swap
  • 2x Free Robeless Spells

A dangerous and advanced loadout, this set up relies on stealth, evasion and confusion to get the job done. However this can prove effective in avoiding getting shot and pulling of outrageous tasks.

If you're discovered you will have few defensive or offensive abilities to employ, Fireball is your only main offensive spell, taking either Blind or Smoke can help in avoiding targets and Forcefield can help keep away pursuers.

These loadouts are meant as a general guide on a simple loadout to use. We highly recommend you experiment with any spell combination when you can.

Tips

  • While knocked down, you can still change your "facing" direction by clicking on a tile or at-tempting to move. This means you can aim fireball while knocked down.
  • Someone in the "Unconcious" state can be instantly Soul Sharded, regardless of health. Anyone under 50% HP can be KO'd by a briefcase with 100% reliability. See that assistant that burned himself to shit on the door? Briefcase bonk, shard.
  • If you use the scroll of teleportation, put it in your pocket and leave the teleportation win-dow open, when you select "Okay" on the window, you'll still teleport, even if it's not in your hands. You can also do this while stunned. So if your escapade as Gas-Mask Wizardtington the "Greyshirt" with a stolen ID ends up getting you tased, you can SCRYAR NILA INCINERATOR 3 times before they'll be able to cuff you, instead of throwing out a panic fireball and hoping he gets KO'd. This is far more useful to a robeless wizard than a robed wizard...as the robed one will likely just cast teleport/blink/jaunt if he ever gets stunned.
  • Suicide bombing is a very easy way to kill a wizard. Welderbombings can also knock the wizard out if he's not very good.
  • You can label constructs, so please please please steal a hand labeler as a wizard so that your artificers actually know which juggernaut to heal.
  • The Staff of Animation can animate holographic objects. They retain their 'force' and do not disappear when they leave the holodeck/the holodeck is shut off. So you can load up the thunder dome simulation over and over for infinite E-sword buddies.
  • Wizard EMP shocks doors, so you should not better use doors as wizard, after you use EMP skill. Also the staff of animation is even more OP then veil render, just use it on knifes, hatchets and other items of big robustness. Combine this with EMPing security guys, which approach you and mutating in hulk, when you see guys with syringe guns (however, if chemist is not mainstream and deploys lexorin or unstable mutagen, you would get outrobusted) for greater effects.
  • The wizard's Knock spell opens bolted doors too.
  • The staff of change works on AIs.
  • Fire balling someone with anti magic will stun and blind you.
  • Trying to use disintegrate on someone with anti-magic will decapitate your arm and do nothing to the victim.
  • You can not jaunt over tiles that were sprayed with holy water.
  • If you're going to use the rod form it is almost required that you bring some form of space immunity, may that be necromancy or a gem encrusted hardsuit, because at some point it will land you in space.





...Now, fearless follower of the Wizards Space Federation..

I have but one question for you, now that I revealed all this knowledge to you,

Will you be ready?


With Love,
