On the developer blog, the official site states, "It was clear to us from the start that we needed to include a Wizard of some kind among our heroes. During the early stages of production, we therefore went through all of the Colleges, sketching up the pros and cons of each from a gameplay and story perspective.

The site adds, "Despite several of them catching our interest, we kept coming back to the Bright Wizards and their love of burning things. Their pyromaniac tendencies and fiery tempers combined with the imagery of having Skaven go up in a pillar of flame felt just too tempting to ignore."
