Wizards are not a pain (at least to my eyes) in ADOM.
Elementalists start with spells, but always the same
ones. Burning hands and frost bolt, then fire bolt
later and so on. Wizards always start with two
spellbooks, at least one of which is gauranteed to
be offensive. The other book may not be offensive,
but helpful in other ways.
Wizards have a slightly higher learning stat to start
out, and their literacy skill always starts out at
100. Wizards can always train their Concentration
skill much more quickly than elementalists (helps to
restore your PP's). All of these things help wizards
to learn more from the books they have.
