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.
