Black wizards are monsters in ADOM. They are able to summon random monsters; which can be especially annoying if they summon quantities of breeders or fellow summoners (such as werewolves), as they can thus start to increase monster numbers exponentially in a level. They are also capable of cursing the PC and/or their equipment in melee range. They are usually not very tough, however; and can easily be dealt with with missiles, magic or mindcraft.
