An excellent resource for AD & D (2nd Edition)

This wonderful book is a rules supplement for AD & D (2nd Edition). Seeking to expand the available information on the Wizard character class, this book contains information on schools of magic and specialization, wizard kits, combat and the wizard (really spell usage), and casting spell under unusual conditions. It also has lists of new spells (some not earlier brought over from 1st Edition), familiars, magical disease, and so forth. Overall, I found this to be an excellent resource for AD & D. The kits are very interesting, and open up all sorts of new vistas for making magic interesting and unique in your campaign. But, the most helpful part to me was the chapter on combat and the wizard - instead of just searching the list and cherry-picking spells, it taught me how to select a well-balanced and useful list of spells. And, of course, I always like seeing new spells. So, let me just sum up by saying that this is a great resource for anyone playing a wizard in AD & D, one that you should definitely acquire.

Adds new dimensions to one of the most popular classes

This wonderful book will make your wizardly characters come alive - here you'll find endless details on the schools of magic, specialists, spellcasting, wizard kits (subclasses), roleplaying personae, spells in combat, spells above 9th level (!), exhaustive rules on illusions (at last!), spell research, familiars, chaos magic, wizards' towers, and more; this tome is full of amazing ideas that will improve your campaign immensely! One of the best books in the PHBR series.
