It is possible to edit heroes through map editor to posses level three spells or higher without having the wisdom skill. In other words, wisdom is only required to learn spells not cast them. At default there are several heroes who start with a higher level spell than their wisdom allows them to learn. These heroes are:
As opposed to what the manual states, Wisdom is not required to cast third or higher level spells, only to learn them. Proof of this is that for example [[Solmyr]] can cast [[Chain Lighting]] which is a 4th level spell without having Advanced Wisdom. Also [[spell scroll]]s and Tomes of [[Tome of Air|Air]], [[Tome of Earth|Earth]], [[Tome of Fire|Fire]] and [[Tome of Water|Water]] enables hero to cast any level of spell regardless of their level of Wisdom skill. By default the following heroes have a higher level spell than their level of Wisdom allows them to learn:

'''Heroes with Wisdom as a starting skill:'''
All magic heroes start with basic wisdom except necromancers and the following exceptions:
*[[Adelaide]] the [[Cleric]] starts with advanced wisdom.
*[[Aislinn]] the [[Necromancer]] starts with basic wisdom.
*[[Astral]] the [[Wizard]] starts with advanced wisdom.
*[[Dracon]] the [[Wizard]] starts  with advanced wisdom.
*[[Jeddite]] the [[Warlock]] starts with advanced wisdom.
*[[Mirlanda]] the [[Witch]] starts with advanced wisdom.
*[[Rashka]] the [[Demoniac]] starts with basic wisdom.
*[[Uland]] the [[Druid]] starts with advanced wisdom.


==Comments/Strategy==
All magic heroes start with Basic Wisdom except Necromancers and the following exceptions:
'''Recommended for:''' All heroes. The only exception would be if the [[Orb of Inhibition]] or [[Recanter's Cloak]] is found early in the game. However, at large and extra large maps wisdom is compulsory.
* [[Adelaide]] the [[Cleric]] (Advanced)
* [[Aislinn]] the [[Necromancer]] (Basic)
* [[Astral]] the [[Wizard]] (Advanced)
* [[Dracon]] the [[Wizard]] (Advanced)
* [[Jeddite]] the [[Warlock]] (Advanced)
* [[Mirlanda]] the [[Witch]] (Advanced)
* [[Rashka]] the [[Demoniac]] (Basic)
* [[Uland]] the [[Druid]] (Advanced)
 
== 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.
