How to Use Wizard Calculator
The Wizard Calculator turns a few personal details into a fun wizard identity. Use it for tabletop sessions, character ideas or just for fun.
- Enter your name and birthday — These seed the hashing logic so the same inputs always produce the same identity.
- Pick your favorite color — Tone shifts the wand and robe theme.
- Choose personality, element and path — These drive the readings and the suggested signature spell.
- Read the Wizard Identity — The Wizard Calculator outputs your level, wand, magic school, signature spell, power score and personality reading.
- Click Regenerate — Add a fresh entropy seed when you want to roll a brand new identity.
Formula & Theory — Wizard Calculator
The Wizard Calculator uses a deterministic hash of inputs and a small lookup table to pick traits. The simplified algorithm looks like:
seed = hash(name + birthday + color + extra)
level = (seed mod 100) + 1
wand = WAND_TABLE[(seed >> 7) mod WAND_TABLE.length]
school = SCHOOL_TABLE[(seed >> 11) mod SCHOOL_TABLE.length]
spell = ELEMENT_SPELLS[element][(seed >> 13) mod 5]
power = level × elementMultiplier × pathMultiplier| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| seed | 32-bit FNV-style hash mixed from all inputs |
| element | Selected magic element (fire, water, wind, …) |
| path | Selected combat path (attack, defense, healing, …) |
| elementMultiplier | Boost for elemental affinity |
| pathMultiplier | Boost for chosen path |
Because the calculation is deterministic, the Wizard Calculator produces the same identity for the same inputs, which makes it useful for shared games where players want stable characters.
