Bright Wizard is an 
Empire hero unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer.
Recruitment[]
Unlocked with: Wizard's Conclave, Altdorf Conclave of Battle Wizards, Occupied Library of Hoeth, Tower of Prophecy or Temple of Elemental Winds
Description[]
The Lore of Fire, or Pyromancy, is borne upon the searing Wind of Aqshy - the study of the Bright Order. The Key of Secrets is their symbol, representing the unlocking of knowledge. Fire Wizards are easily recognised for their red robes and wild orange hair and beards. They are ruddy of skin and are frequently adorned with tattoos that writhe with the weaving of their spells. They are of a fiery temperament, their anger capable of changing from a guttering flame to a raging inferno in a split second. The Bright College is a marvel of architecture. Blazing towers rise like pillars of fire into Altdorf's sky. At the heart of the college, a gigantic beacon burns both day and night, and once cast an eerie scarlet glow over neighbouring districts. The college now stands alone, however, surrounded by a blackened wasteland where, according to hearsay, a warren of streets once stood.

Strategy[]
The Bright Wizard probably produces the most variety of damaging magic, if not the most impressive looking. The Lore of Fire is well suited to destroying clumps of enemies, sniping enemy characters, buffing units, etc. Because of their kindleflame ability, they will pair well with units that deal fire damage or imbue fire damage onto allies. Examples of this are the Warrior Priest, Knights of the Blazing Sun, and Huntsman General. They also exacerbate and exploit the weakness to fire that regeneration imbues, meaning that if regenerating enemies are giving you a hard time its a good idea to bring such a fiery wizard.
