However, their chances of success are still significant enough that they should be approached with care: a [[psi bolt]] can finish off a weakened character, and being [[Stun (monster spell)|stunned]] in [[Minetown]] is perilous if you are near groups of hostile gnomes or around a [[watchman]] or [[shopkeeper]].

		+
		+	A '''gnomish wizard''', {{monsym\|gnomish wizard}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in ''[[NetHack]]''. As their name indicates, gnomish wizards are [[Gnome (monster class)\|gnomes]] that are capable of casting [[monster spell]]s. Like other gnomes, a gnomish wizard has [[infravision]] and can be seen with infravision; hostile gnome wizards will collect magical items that they can use.
		+
		+	A gnomish wizard will attempt to cast 1 monster spell during each round they get in combat.
		+
		+	==Generation==
		+	Randomly generated gnomish wizards are always peaceful towards [[Gnome (starting race)\|gnomish]] and [[Dwarf (starting race)\|dwarvish]] characters, and will be hostile towards the other playable races.
		+
		+	A pair of gnomish wizards are generated in the temple on most maps of [[Minetown]] at level creation, with the exception of Orcish Town, which does not generate gnomes at level creation, and Grotto Town, where they are instead placed in the southwestern-most room near the delicatessen [[shop]]. A pair of gnomish wizards each are generated in The Gnome King's Wine Cellar and The Mimic of the Mines maps of [[Mines' End]].
		+
		+	Gnomish wizards may appear among the hostile {{white\|G}} that generate in [[throne room]]s, as well the monsters randomly generated by [[looting]] a throne while [[confused]] and carrying gold (provided there is no [[chest]] on the level).{{refsrc\|src/mkroom.c\|755\|version=NetHack 3.6.7}}
		+
		+	===Starting inventory===
		+	Gnomish wizards are eligible for [[offensive item]]s, [[defensive item]]s, and [[miscellaneous item]]s.
		+
		+	A gnomish wizard placed at level creation has a chance of [[Monster starting inventory\|being generated with]] a single [[candle]]: the chance is {{frac\|20}} if he is in the Gnomish Mines, and {{frac\|60}} otherwise.{{refsrc\|src/makemon.c\|777\|nethack=3.6.7}} The candle has a {{frac\|3\|4}} chance of being tallow and a {{frac\|4}} chance of being wax, and will be lit if the gnome is generated in a dark area.
		+
		+	==Strategy==
		+	Though gnomish wizards are faster and have better base [[AC]] than other [[Gnome (monster attribute)\|gnomes]], and they often cast [[Haste self (monster spell)\|haste self]] the first chance they get, their spellcasting attempts can fail often similar to a [[kobold shaman]] - this makes them very easy targets for an early character. However, their chances of success are still significant enough that they should be approached with care: a [[psi bolt]] can finish off a weakened character, and being [[Stun (monster spell)\|stunned]] in [[Minetown]] is perilous if you are near groups of hostile gnomes or around a [[watchman]] or [[shopkeeper]].

		+	... And then a gnome came by, carrying a bundle, an old fellow three times as large as an imp and wearing clothes of a sort, especially a hat. And he was clearly just as frightened as the imps though he could not go so fast. Ramon Alonzo saw that there must be some great trouble that was vexing magical things; and, since gnomes speak the language of men, and will answer if spoken to gently, he raised his hat, and asked of the gnome his name. The gnome did not stop his hasty shuffle a moment as he answered 'Alaraba' and grabbed the rim of his hat but forgot to doff it.
		+	'What is the trouble, Alaraba?' said Ramon Alonzo.
		+	'White magic. Run!' said the gnome ..

		+	"Muggles have garden gnomes, too, you know," Harry told Ron as they crossed the lawn.
		+	"Yeah, I've seen those things they think are gnomes," said Ron, bent double with his head in a peony bush, "like fat little Santa Clauses with fishing rods..."
		+	There was a violent scuffling noise, the peony bush shuddered, and Ron straightened up. "This is a gnome," he said grimly.
		+	"Geroff me! Gerroff me!" squealed the gnome.
		+	It was certainly nothing like Santa Claus. It was small and leathery looking, with a large, knobby, bald head exactly like a potato. Ron held it at arm's length as it kicked out at him with its horny little feet; he grasped it around the ankles and turned it upside down.
