The modern wizard has seen the light.  Living outside of civilization is only a benefit when civilization makes it a point of keeping you outside.  In the new, kinder, gentler, fantasy world wizards can ply their craft without fear of the superstitious peasantry.  Have you heard about these new worlds?  Coiffed and cultured bugbears and gnolls strut about city streets with multiracial populations numbering in the millions.  A wizard's once unique abilities are cut, dried, and codified with craft shops sitting next to your favorite blacksmith and jeweler.  You can make quite the copper in the security business alone.  Sure, repeatedly producing the same items and performing the same services can get a little dull, but really, people prefer what they know.  And the money's good.In all seriousness, build a dungeon.  They allow for defense against aerial attacks, they fit lone wizard archetype, and there are thousands of examples to steal.  (not to mention digging holes in the ground is a heck of a lot easier than finding all those stones)</blockquote>
