A wizard is never without their staff. Not only do they allow you to octograve, which is a necessary part of any spell in itself, but you can also crack any daft fool who'd attack you over the head with one in a pinch. Oh, and you also need one in certain spells.

Wet towel
Ah the towel, adventure's swiss army knife. For wizards, they are mainly used to summon clouds to do our heavy lifting. Any towel at all will work with the spell, though it must be wet. The spell does not consume the towel, but does damage it slightly; enough damage and it's good-bye towel. The larger and wetter the towel, the less damage it takes. Remember: Always remember where your towel is.

White mineral powder (chalk powder)
One of the three components needed for trollskin, white mineral powder, also known as chalk powder, can be obtained by chipping pebbles off white mineral rocks and then pulverising them into powder. Rocks and pebbles can be bought in shops, or found by searching certain places.
New wizards will not know that white mineral powder is in fact chalk dust, and will have to get a stick of chalk to compare to the powder before figuring it out.
