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. 
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.

 |

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

| 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,
The QuarterWizard
