Wizard

Optional Wizard features and subclass references from Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything.

This reference contains the optional Wizard features introduced in this source.

Optional Class Features

You gain class features in the Player's Handbook when you reach certain levels in your class. This section offers additional features that you can gain as a wizard. Unlike the features in the Player's Handbook, you don't gain the features here automat ically. Consulting with your DM, you decide whether to gain a feature in this section if you meet the level requirement noted in the feature's description. These features can be selected separately from one another; you can use some, all, or none of them.

Add It Ion Al Wizard Spells

1st-level wizard feature

The spells in the following list expand the wizard spell list in the Player's Handbook. The list is or ganized by spell level, not character level. Aspell's school of magic is noted, and if a spell can be cast as a ritual, the ritual tag appears after the spell's name. Each spell is in the Player's Handbook, unless it has an asterisk (a spell in chapter 3). Xanathar's Guide to Everything also offers more spells.
