{{ClassProficiency|Wizard}}
Wizards are proficient with the athame, dagger, heavy crossbow, light crossbow, light mace, sickle, and mages staff, but not with any type of armor or shield.
 
==== Arcane Spells and Armor====
Armor restricts the complicated gestures required while casting any spell that has a somatic component. The armor and shield descriptions list the arcane spell failure chance for different armors and shields.
 
If a spell doesn't have a somatic component, an arcane spellcaster can cast it with no arcane spell failure chance while wearing armor. Such spells can also be cast even if the caster's hands are bound or he is grappling (although [[Concentration]] checks may still be necessary). The metamagic feat [[Still Spell (Feat)|Still Spell]] allows a spellcaster to prepare or cast a spell without the somatic component at one spell level higher than normal. This also provides a way to cast a spell while wearing armor without risking arcane spell failure.
