'''Wisdom''' is a [[secondary skill]] that enables hero to learn 3rd, 4th and 5th level spells depending on the level of the skill. Heroes without Wisdom skill can learn 1st and 2nd level spells.
As opposed to what the manual states, Wisdom is not required to ''cast'' third or higher level spells, only to ''learn'' them. For example, [[Solmyr]] starts with [[Chain Lightning]], a 4th level spell, but he is still able to cast it without Advanced Wisdom. [[Spell scroll]]s, Tomes of [[Tome of Air|Air]], [[Tome of Earth|Earth]], [[Tome of Fire|Fire]], and [[Tome of Water|Water]], and the [[Spellbinder's Hat]] allow heroes to cast all spells given by these artifacts regardless of their level of Wisdom.

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 towards the end. Another exception would be, that if [[Orb of Inhibition]] or [[Recanter's Cloak]] is found early in the game.

Heroes starting with Advanced Wisdom can guarantee themselves a random Magic school if they pick Expert Wisdom at second level (unlike Might heroes, e.g. Tazar, whose upgrade to Expert skill at level 2 might get them offered two useless skills).

Wisdom
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.

As opposed to what the manual states, Wisdom is not required to cast third or higher level spells, only to learn them. For example, Solmyr starts with Chain Lightning, a 4th level spell, but he is still able to cast it without Advanced Wisdom. Spell scrolls, Tomes of Air, Earth, Fire, and Water, and the Spellbinder's Hat allow heroes to cast all spells given by these artifacts regardless of their level of Wisdom.

Wisdom will be offered at level 6 for Might heroes (and Elementalists Shadow of Death) and at level 3 for Magic heroes (except Elementalists Shadow of Death) if it was not offered before and the hero does not know Wisdom yet. In the case that Wisdom was declined, it will be offered again from whenever it was offered at most 6 levels later for Might heroes (and Elementalists Shadow of Death) and at most 3 levels later for Magic heroes (except Elementalists Shadow of Death). In Horn of the Abyss Horn of the Abyss, the levels at which Elementalists are guaranteed to be offered Wisdom were changed to match the those of all other Magic heroes.

Heroes with Wisdom as a starting skill:
