As in most cases when combining the wielder with a slot-based spellcasting class, there are some challenges with spellcasting advancement to be aware of with this one. Depending on which wielder archetype you select, you might also have one or two spellcasting ability scores, plus Strength for weapon use to consider. Flavor-wise, though, this pairing feels awesome. Wizards are just the sort of people who would get their hands on a powerful magical item and use it to enhance their existing magical talents. Mixing and matching different archetypes just gives you some extra nuance and interest. More wielder levels gives you a spellcasting warrior with a powerful artifact and a touch of traditional magical education. More wizard levels gives you a magical scholar and researcher dabbling with an artifact in their possession. An even mix of the two represents a split focus on spell research and bonding with the artifact. [[Synergy Feats for Multiclassers#Wielder w/ Wizard|Wielder-Wizard chains and ideas]]
