The short answer is no it is not legal. Wizards are trained only in Arcane and Air. As last years winner was a Water Wizard it would not be legal under current rules.

Yet, if you are having fun and your friends/opponents too, you can just ingore that

[bigfatchef]

To make the book legak you simply have to take out one wizard tower to just have one and look up the spellpoints needed when trained in air. I guess you don't even need more attack spells (now that the tower looses the spells you need more) cause you already run a lot.
The second tower saves you some points and maybe that's already enough to get back to 120.

And yes, if you are not playing a serious tournament .... Just ignore it and have fun.

I made a version that should be legal.

This seems weaker that WTC, but not that much. Its only 115 points so room for a few spells.

First you should answer if this is for a 75 min tourney book or not?

I took out a lot of Water spells - 3 Acid Ball and 1 Dissolve added a second Jelly instead.
Changed Rock Attack for Air Attack - Fewer dice, but more and better effects.

A little bit worse vs. Fire and some rarely used spells I removed (Remove magic, Mana Prism)

Should still play and feel the same I hope.

.... Still 2 Wizards Towers in it. Not legal yet xD

You can run 2 Wizard Towers, just not play them at the same time

[Biblofilter]

And I messed up - a lot of equipment seem to missing

Going to give it another look later.

2nd Wizard Tower stays, with all those attack spells..

Damn I always get confused between legendary, unique and epic
I completely misunderstood the tower errata then. Very good to know! Sometimes I think there are too many words to know exactly...

[jhaelen]

To make the book legak you simply have to take out one wizard tower to just have one and look up the spellpoints needed when trained in air. I guess you don't even need more attack spells (now that the tower looses the spells you need more) cause you already run a lot.

I don't think the spellbook can be made legal and still be good. It relied on requiring only a single copy of the big attack spells. You simply no longer have enough spell points for that. Especially since you now have to specialize in air.

[Coshade]

I have to agree with Jhaelen.  Wizard just does not play like this anymore. I think the tactic of using Jinx is still very strong, and there is a lot of ideas to grab from the book.
