'''Taken Wizard''' is a type of [[Taken]] [[Hive]].


==Gameplay==
'''Taken Wizard''' is a type of [[Taken]] [[Hive]] which can summon [[Shadow Thrall]]s. Fires Solar Darkness Blasts that move rapidly, and has a [[Void]] shield.
The Wizard's abilities change considerably once Taken. Their quick traveling [[Arc]] Darkness Blast is replaced by the [[Solar]] Necromantic Gaze, which fires a delayed barrage of shots after a few moments of casting time. They have lost their Poison Cloud, and replaced it with the ability to summon [[Shadow Thrall]]s. Taken Wizards should never be allowed to retreat, or they will begin creating large hordes of Shadow Thralls that can quickly overwhelm players. Defense wise, their shields have changed to [[Void]], but they aren't any tougher than their Hive counterpart.
