Top 10 Things a Wizard Can Do After Running Out of Spells
Assuming you don’t have any good combat magic items that you want to use…
10. Make a ranged attack with a sling or other weapon you (the wizard) can use. If you are in the front a melee attack is possible instead, but hopefully you stayed in the back of the party. (Don’t worry, the list gets better! This is a basic action that has to be mentioned first.)
9. Hold the torch/lantern. Having a character hold and move the light source allows the light to be moved as the combat moves. Otherwise, the torch has to be dropped on the ground and the light may not reach part of the combat area.
8. Heal a comrade. If another character is dying, you can move (if the path is safe) to the other character and try to use your healing skill to stop the other character from dying.
7. Dole out potions. This action requires some planning but if the you are holding on to a bunch of potions you can move and give one to whichever character can best use it.
