Wizard

Rasmodius is a Wizard who resides in the Wizard's Tower in the south west part of Stardew Valley. After visiting the Craft Room's scroll, he will send a letter the next day addressing the 'rat problem' and tell you to come to his tower, when you reach there he proclaim his titles and make you drink some sort of drink to be 'one with nature' discuss about the Juminos that are trying to help rebuild the Community Center with the resource that the player contribute towards to. Also gives quests to kill 4-8 slimes.

Daily Routine

Does not leave his tower, except for the festivals, when he likes to spy from afar.

Family

He said one of the people in town is his daughter but the details of who this is, is still unclear.

• He mentions he was married to a witch who, after they broke up, went across the land cursing things in anger. Sometimes during the night, the witch will curse your coop, changing one of your chicken's eggs to a void egg.

• Caroline says she used to visit the wizard but not to tell her husband or he will be jealous, so it is possible that Abigail could be his daughter. Or Caroline could be the Wizard's daughter, as his age is ambiguous. (Caroline refers to Abigail's original hair color as chestnut brown. So she could easily be Pierre's. Although Pierre is worried that he isn't Abigail's biological father. However, Abigail says she never has to dye her hair purple. It's stayed that color for as long as she remembers.)
• Speculation his daughter could be the late Mona (see gravestone). Abigail being a noted character to spend various amounts of time at her grave.
• Additional speculation that his daughter is Jas, who shares the same hair color.

Friendship

Once you become friends with him you can access the room in the back. It has The Shrine Of Illusions.

You make an offering of 500g to change your appearance at this shrine.

Heart Events

2 Hearts: Head down to the sewer and you will see the Dwarf and Krobus fight about their history. You and the Wizard break it up and the two agree to not fight anymore. [Triggered this cutscene at 3 hearts, which is why I'm adding it here]

4 Hearts: Head down to the sewer and you will see the Dwarf and Krobus fight about their history. You and the Wizard break it up and the two agree to not fight anymore.

8 Hearts: Once you have an eight heart relationship, head up to where the train passes through Stardew Valley. He'll be waiting for you to ask you to go and retrieve his Magic Ink from his Ex-wife. He then leads you on a quest to go talk to Krobus to get something to open the way to the Witches Hut. All of this might happen before 8 hearts but that's the only time this cut scene worked for me. (This may occur after restoring the community center or completing the joja mart)

10 Hearts (Maximum): Unknown
