Many players choose to zap a wand of death at the wizard instantly every time he reappears. However, if you are low of charges on your wands, you may want to take him out by conventional means or, for example, stone him. Watch for the Elvenkings the wizard likes to summon — they are represented by the same bright magenta @ symbol that the wizard. It is annoying for one to realize that they have lost a charge of the wand of death for the wrong monster.
