'''Wizard''' is a [[type]] of [[Kingdom card]] from the {{Set|Allies}} expansion. There are 4 copies each of 4 differently-named Wizards with a single [[randomizer]] card, forming a [[split pile]]: when Wizards are selected as a [[Kingdom]] card for a game, they are put into a single [[Supply]] pile in order by increasing [[cost]], of which only the top card can be gained at any given time. The cheapest of the four allows you to "[[rotate]]" the pile—move all copies of the current top card to the bottom of the pile, revealing the next card in the sequence.

Recursion is a smaller sub-theme of the set. Ways to get a card back somehow. First, it's another split pile, the Wizards: {{Card|Student}} goes on top of your deck when it trashes a {{Card|Copper}}; you can play it multiple times in the same turn. And hey, it's another [[Liaison]]. {{Card|Conjurer}} can keep going to your hand turn after turn, you just need to keep playing it. And {{Card|Lich}} comes back when you try to trash it, like a {{Card|Fortress}} only not to your hand. Also {{Card|Lich}} can uh skip your turn? Well maybe you aren't getting another turn anyway. {{Card|Sorcerer}} meanwhile is the counterpart to {{Card|Sorceress}}; it makes them play the guessing game instead of you.

=== Secret History ===
{{Quote
|Text={{Card|Student}} originally either trashed or drew your top card. Then it got the [[topdeck]]ing, but initially only triggered on {{Card|Copper}}. That changed just to give you a little leeway if you really wanted more Favors. The {{Card|Conjurer}} slot was another kind of {{Card|Workshop}}, then {{Card|Voyage}}, then the surviving card (though with an upgrading bit for a while still). {{Card|Sorcerer}} went back and forth on being cumulative or not (via having them discard the card). In the end, not cumulative. {{Card|Lich}} started out as a way to get all these upgrading split pile cards. It was played to [[gain]] cards from the [[trash]], then that moved to a when-trash ability, and the top got "draw your deck, skip your next turn." Would you believe, that was overpowered. But someone has to try these things, and it might as well be me. The bottom was also broken, it put {{Card|Lich}} into your hand when trashed and you could go nuts with various trash-for-benefit cards. The scaled back beast still looks scary.
