Subjective Analysis
Though they are physically very weak, Wizards have the highest natural MA compared to any other class in the game. They are designed to wreak havoc with a variety of offensive magic, and to stay far, far away from the front line whenever possible.
Wizards have a large variety of spells, so choosing the right ones can be difficult. The level one and level three elemental spells are worth getting, and Flare is nice too. The level four spells are very expensive in terms of JP and take way too long to charge to justify picking up. As for their other abilities, Magic Attack Up is worth the price if you're planning on keeping the unit as an offensive magic user over time, particularly as a Summoner.
