All the wizard can do is debug, which is why 5.3 seems to have compiled the
code out. It's actually rather boring to type a half dozen characters and
have a 15th level character with 130 hit points, +9 plate, and +5 +5 two
handed sword, and 10 potions of extra healing (or whatever...). Especially
when you are still on level 1 of the dungeon (take that, you bat! Whap!).
When I played with the wizard features, the only fun I ever had was to go
to level 25, find a dragon, and offer it two free hits. It still lost
consistently...

Never give your heart to a stranger, unless you are sure that you are dead.
