He always wants to expand his boundries, discover new possibilities, do new things. You say a Wizard is an inventor then. Most inventors are working to find new things to patent. They hope to get rich from their inventions and spend lots of money on lawers and patent fees. A patent is good for 17 years.
Most patents run out before the inventor makes any money.
Especially, if it is dependent on the development of something else, to make it work . A good example is Nikola Tesla's turbine design. A great design idea, but, the materials to make it, work were not developed until about 50 years after the patent expired. Nikola Tesla patented computer logic also. Guess who was so very surprised and disapointed decades later, when computer technology became practical.
