Wizard changes in D&D's 2024 rules update

We're reviewing all of the changes to classes in D&D's 2024 rules update; this time, the Wizard! We cover changes to cantrips, the number of prepared spells, spellcasting foci and Spell Mastery; as well as new features Scholar and Memorize Spell. We also take a look at the updated subclass Savant feature, and dive into the four included subclasses: Abjurer, Diviner, Evoker and Illusionist.
