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.
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:
- Aislinn - Meteor Shower
- Alamar - Resurrection
- Coronius - Slayer
- Deemer - Meteor Shower
- Loynis - Prayer
- Solmyr - Chain Lightning

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.
