'''Wizard mode''' ('''wizmode''') is ''Crawl<nowiki>'</nowiki>''s debug mode. It allows the player to create a character, modify it freely, avoid [[death]], and test all sorts of situations.

Wizmode is invaluable for researching [[item]]s, [[monsters]], [[species]], [[background]]s, [[god]]s, [[branch]]es, [[vault]]s, and general [[:Category:Game mechanics|game mechanics]]. Performing experiments in wizmode is an excellent way to contribute to [[Crawl Wiki|this wiki]] – please edit our pages with what you have learned!

==Entering Wizmode==
You can enter wizmode by pressing '&' after creating a character. When you attempt to enter, the game warns you:

'''WARNING: ABOUT TO ENTER WIZARD MODE!'''
'''If you continue, your game will not be scored!'''
Do you really want to enter wizard mode?

Type 'wiz' to confirm.

Wizard mode is disabled in [[playing online|online servers]], not only for the [[cheating]] aspect, but also because it could be used to easily crash the server. In order to get access to wizmode, download an offline version of Crawl.

==Strategy==
You obviously can't go into wizmode if you want your game to be [[scoring|scored]]. However, ''Crawl'' is an offline game, meaning you're free to do what you want. There's nothing stopping you from, say, generating the [[Axe of Woe]], setting [[Death's Door]] duration to infinity, and crushing the game.

Players can use wizmode to test a number of things useful in regular games, not limited to the list below:
*'''f/F''' has a fight simulator, allowing you to test your weapon DPS and damage taken against any given monster (spawn enemies with '''M''').
*The level of skill / intelligence required to cast a spell. Use '''A''' and '''s''' to set skills to desired points, '''@''' to set Str/Int/Dex, and '''o''' to create any desired armour.
*Create a [[vault]], to see it in-game.
*Details on how a given mechanic works.
