- Fills a gap for players who want more depth from the mysterious Wizard

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SMAPI installed, as most dialogue mods require it to load custom content.
- If you're using other dialogue mods, check for conflicts—only one mod can edit the same character's dialogue at a time.
- Back up your save before installing, just in case you want to revert to the original Wizard dialogue.
