War Wizard of Cormyr is a prestige class (in 3rd edition) and a paragon path (in 4th edition) whose members are the elite battle-mages of Cormyr in the organization of the same name. The War Wizards are among the most respected spellcasters throughout all of Faerûn. Most war wizards serve Cormyr directly, which allows for little time to explore and adventure though some members are allowed to work in a more extended capacity.[1]
