My wizard Shazbot reached level 5 before we both became exhausted. I play way too much Hearthstone, so I suppose I am obsessed with that, but I love the Diablo games, and I used to love City of Villains/City of Heroes and cannot understand why there isn’t a game like that today.
Are usually play wizard/sorcerer whenever that’s an option, though I often also play druids/healers. It kind of depends on the game and if I’m alone or I have a team. Magic users can be very squishy so I often play a non-magical class first to learn the ropes and then choose the wizard.
I stayed on brand and named my wizard Ce Miquiztli, meaning One Death, a day in the Aztec sacred calendar with some sorcery associations. Found the game unwinnable after level 8. Extensively reloaded the save and every enemy killed me no matter what. Against Rotten Hoggo the first spell always failed across who knows how many resets, running to fight other monsters didn't help either because they'd kill me too quickly. Eventually used the reload point to just end it there.
I once spent an entire day trying to beat the ultimate final level in Super Mario 3D World, Crown-Crown. Was driven to tears feeling I'd wasted my entire day. Then beat it the next day in the morning. It's one of the hardest levels in any Mario game. In general I'll usually have periods of getting fixated on a game. My life revolved around Pikmin 4 until I beat it 100%.

My wizard is named Lord Trinnington, Lady of the Far Reaches. (I had a boss that called me that, and I've always kind of loved it.) I made it to Level 8 before getting turned in to wizard paste.
Many, many long times ago, my husband's job was moving us from Texas to Oregon. We had everything mostly packed up, I'd quit my job, and a few days before the actual move, they pushed his start date back a month, and told him to just take it as a paid month because his job in TX had been filled. We played at least 12 hours of EverQuest a day, every weekday. I ended up making friends via that game that I still have today, and have visited IRL. Since I work in IT now, I've kind of sworn off PC games, but I'm a devoted Everdell player when I have the time.
Hands down, I'm happiest being the rogue. Rogues do all the cool stuff in the party!
Nope, no magic for me. Ever since I realized that David Copperfield didn't really make the Statue of Liberty disappear I've been disillusioned and skeptical. That man broke my tiny heart.
I named my wizard Gemini after the awesome Jack Kirby-created dark wizard that Thundarr the Barbarian faced, and I leveled him up to 5! Then I quit and played again to see what a rando sloppy wizard named Xavier the Cockless might find in your world. Boy that hike eastward takes patience lol... and Xavier the Cockless' bony fist punches were NOT the way to go! Funsies tho :) thank you Game Master
Mentalo, Level 7, killed by something venomous. I still feel like a powerful wizard. Sadly, I'm not playing any games, but I want to get back into Minecraft dungeons.
I am currently obsessed with Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Nintendo Switch), Secret Hitler (board game), and GardenScapes (iPhone). Lol!

And I forgot, were there are other questions? 🤪

Always go for the magic using classes personally.

My wizard, Rupert Grint, has perished. He valiantly made it to level 8, though.
I used to be obsessed with the Elder Scrolls games (Morrowind and Skyrim in particular). I loved the expansive, open worlds. Too much fun!
