Wizard

The Wizard is the second-class advancement of the Mage, and the offensive counterpart to the scholarly Sage. Where Sages bend magic toward utility and support, Wizards exist to deal damage: they command the elements at their most destructive, raining meteors, blizzards and lightning storms over the battlefield. They trade durability for raw power, relying on positioning, control spells and careful timing to survive while their long casts come down.

On Vortex Legends the Wizard is built around a three-branch specialization system, one for each of its damage elements:

Tempest (Wind) — a single-target finisher that hits wounded foes ever harder.
Frost (Water) — control and survival through freezing and lockdown.
Fire — explosive area damage (in development, see below).

The branches are a matter of priority rather than a cage: points can be spent freely, so classic multi-element builds remain fully playable. Wizards advance into the High Wizard after rebirth.

Specialization branches

The Wizard's three branches build toward signature skills that continue into High Wizard. Each is described by the skills it adds; the standard elemental spells above remain available to every build.

Tempest (Wind)

The Wind branch is the single-target executioner: it does not clear packs so much as hunt one target and hit it harder the more wounded it becomes. Its Wizard-tier skill lays down sustained pressure, and the branch comes into its own at High Wizard with Killing Wind.

Wind Ivy

Wind Ivy
Job	Wizard
Type	Offensive (Magic, ground)
Element	Wind
Max level	5

Plants a writhing field of wind that lashes everything inside it once per second and can blind them, letting the Wizard keep steady pressure on a spot or a tough target. → Wind Ivy

Continues at High Wizard with the passive Killing Wind.

Frost (Water)

The Water branch trades raw burst for control and survival. It freezes, slows and locks down, letting the fragile caster dictate the pace of a fight. It begins with a passive and a heavy area nuke at Wizard tier and culminates at High Wizard with Ice Block.

Frostbite

Frostbite
Job	Wizard
Type	Passive
Max level	10

A passive that gives the Wizard's single-target Water spells a chance to leave the victim Freezing, weaving soft crowd control into ordinary damage. → Frostbite

Frost Nova

Frost Nova
Job	Wizard
Type	Offensive (Magic)
Element	Water
Max level	5

Bursts a ring of frost around the caster that damages and freezes every enemy nearby, a heavy area lockdown built on a long cast. → Frost Nova

Continues at High Wizard with Ice Block.

Fire

Fire branch — in development. The Wizard's third specialization is still being designed and has no dedicated branch skills implemented yet. The class's existing Fire spells, Fire Pillar, Meteor Storm and Sightrasher, remain available in the general skill list above. This section will be expanded once the branch is finalized.
