Fallen Wizard

A Fallen Wizard is an undead skeleton creature only found in Act Three.

Involvement

Fallen Wizards are encountered after failing any trial in The Wyrmway proposed by Statues of Balduran. One or two of them appear near the party once they make a wrong decision or violate the rules of the trial, accompanied by several  Fallen Fighters,  Fallen Rangers, and a  Fallen Champion.

The same groups of skeletons, including Fallen Wizards, spawn simultaneously in every unfinished Chamber of Trials and also in the central hall of the Wyrmway. In the worst-case scenario there are 7 Fallen Wizards to be killed.
