These feats are guaranteed to give every Wizard the edge they need in any D&D campaign.
Wizards are known as the bread and butter magic class for Dungeons & Dragons. They gain their magic through meticulous studies to learn how to cast spells, rather than gaining it through ancestry like Sorcerers or by making a deal with a powerful entity as Warlocks do.
Wizards are thought to be glass canons. They have impressive damage output, but the constitution of a dandelion on a particularly breezy day. As such, players must take care into how they create their Wizard character to ensure their longevity. However, there are Feats that Wizard players can take that are sure to give them that edge they need.

Finally, players with this Feat gain access to the Misty Step spell, allowing them to get in range of creatures or make a quick getaway. 12 Shadow Touched
