Basic Wisdom: allows your hero to learn third level spells.
Advanced Wisdom: allows your hero to learn fourth level spells.
Expert Wisdom: allows your hero to learn fifth level spells.

Wisdom is one of the secondary skills. It allows a hero to learn spells of level 3 and higher depending on the level of the skill. At basic level wisdom allows the hero to learn level three spells, at advanced level it allows hero to learn fourth level spells and expert wisdom enables hero to learn fifth level spells.

Discussion

Wisdom is nearly compulsory to every hero regardless of the faction, hero class or map size. It may be unnecessary in simple layout small or medium sized maps, where the game advances quickly and straightforward. In other words, the game never progress far enough for spells above level 3 to be required. Another exception would be, that Orb of Inhibition or Recanter's Cloak is found early in the game. However, at large and extra large maps wisdom is vital for all heroes.
