Wizard has a mana pool for casting spells. Maximum mana is 18, starting value is 6. One mana is replenished every 90 seconds and 2 mana are gained when the Wizard gets a kill. Mana is represented by the experience bar - each segment equals one mana. Because of that, Wizards cannot gain experience, enchant or use an anvil.  
[[Magic Wand]] is used to select (using the Swap offhand button) and cast (using LMB/RMB) spells. Spellcasting is only limited by cooldowns.

[[Spell Book]] is used to select a specialization (or discipline) and to setup spells for Magic Wand.
