Defense includes the ability to generate shields, or deflect the energy blasts of opponents and return attacks back from whence they came. The ability to control these substances which simply exist around them is a formidable power. Go to the Undersea Window in Australia and say: "Water and ice!"<BR><BR>
3. One of the most coveted powers of a talented wizard is their ability to change one substance or being into another, including the age old pursuit of turning something worthless into something valuable. Other changing powers are the ability to change appearance to look like another person or creature through illusions.

4. Wizards use the ability of illusion to change physical form on both themselves to disguise themselves and on others to convert them from a powerful enemy to a harmless creature like a mouse, or other such innocuous animal. In disguising themselves, they may use camouflage which magically transforms their physical appearance to blend into their surroundings. Go to the Dark Forest in the Audubon's Wildlife Adventure game, and say: "Camouflage!"<BR><BR>

Additional effects of potions can also include transformation, invulnerability, super strength, amnesia, any number of other results and of course, evil purposes, the variations are only limited by the imagination of humanity. Being able to collect ingredients and brewing a good potion increases the versatility and strength of a wizard.

9. Wizards' powers are enhanced or boosted through use of staffs or wands which augment the natural power of the wizard. In some mythologies, staffs usually choose their wizard. The staff/wizard relationship stems from the unique composition of the staff and the unique personality of the wizard. The best match creates the strongest affinity between wizard and staff and generates the most power. What are wizard staffs usually made of? 
* Various kinds of woods
