Line 97:
** Oddly enough, she appears to be getting more and more powerful as the games go on. In the first games she had a random chance of accidentally harming her party with her spells, by the fifth she has a random chance to ''[[Game Breaker|cast multiple spells in a row at no additional cost]]''
* All spellcasting classes in the ''[[Wizardry]]'' series are like this at first, barring alchemy-based casters, until they build up their Oratory skill-a low Oratory gives spells a chance to backfire or fizzle. However, backfiring spells are no joke in this series-a backfiring spell can easily kill a party member, if not several, and force the player to quit and reload.
* "Inept wizard" is the actual name of a low-level enemy in ''[[Might and Magic|Might and Magic 2]]''. Usually they just use non-magical strikes and can be defeated quickly, but they ''can'' occasionally use Lightning Bolt, which can do a lot of damage if you aren't careful.
* Lilka from ''[[Wild ARMs 2]]'', though not as inept as most examples: she's still learning some things, but...
* Marie from ''[[Atelier]] Marie'' is an Inept Alchemist. While she has a lot of passion for the art, her [[The Ditz|absentmindedness]] often leads her to put in the wrong ingredient, screwing up the formula. Because of this, she has the lowest GPA out of anyone in her school.
