The Wizard is a character in the indie side-stroller game called Trine.
We meet the wizard as he wakes up, he created a potion that would create a fireball to impress the ladies but it backfired and caused him a fortnight of sleep.
When you start out with the wizard you can move objects around by holding the right mouse button and create objects by drawing a shape of it in the air in the air.
Both these powers are mostly used to solve puzzle to progress but the wizard can kill enemies by squishing them with objects that he creates.
This saved me a couple of time and can work really well.
The object that he creates can be used to maybe reaching the edge that is too high or later create a bridge to walk over cliffs.
The more you upgrade the more and bigger objects you can create.
Later he even creates an object that you can control while on it allowing you to fly.
The bridge, that is drawn is by drawing a line, is also great to kill enemies that might be approaching or not yet aware of you.
This is sometimes fun as you have to create and object then create on above it and then you have to jump on it before the bottom one disappears in mid air.
The object that is created can be used to press buttons or provide weight to a certain platform, if you shoot them they are destroyed.
The Wizard tends to be the last one to be alive because you normally use the other to characters for most of the combat, this can lead to some interesting fights every now and then.
The Wizard is a really fun character to play with and will lead to some pretty close calls that make the game just that much better.
