The wizard can be a difficult character to play during the first chapter, due to the vstiety of creaturers and characters you face during the game, at such a low level. You should rely on your henchmen alot due in certain areas...
For example, there is a section that has alot of undead creatures, use the cleric to help turn the undead...
Another area is very combat intensive, and I would recommend the fighter in this case. the monk is also good, but keep plenty of heal kits to keep him alive...
The bard is also a great henchman to use due to the ongoing spell effects she uses to buff up your character...
Of course, the thief is damn good untill you get a open lock spell in your spell book...
Then the best thing about the wizard PC is the use of summoned creatures and the ability to have a familiar...
The magic user PC can have up to 4 NPC's included in their party, summonded creatures, familiar, and a henchman to help out in combat and allow your PC to stay alive...
Finally, use the stone of recall to have a chance to heal up and rest in a sanctuary if the going gets rough,,,
Later in the game, the magicusers have a wider selection of combat spells available to go toe to toe to with many of the creatures and characters you will encounter...
Magic users are always a challenge to play, due to the fact that you have to plan on what type spells you prepare before tackling various areas...
Goos luck and good blasting of your foes...
