Wizards are assumed to know dozens of different spells, or possibly even hundreds, from complicated time-consuming rituals to party tricks, charms and minor alchemies. However, when it comes to a battle only a limited selection of magic is of any value. In addition, it takes quite a bit of mental energy for the wizard to hold many of these aggressive and dangerous spells in his head at once. Consequently, the number of spells a wizard can take into a battle is limited to his level number as shown below.

The number of spells a wizard has and his level are effectively the same. Should a wizard lose a level the player must surrender a spell so that the number of spells is never greater than the wizard's level.
