Ok, turns out that there actually IS an evil variant for the Wizard, it's just that the game doesn't always use it when it should.
If a player is using an evil dungeon theme and a Wizard is spawned for them via one of the following methods, then it will incorrectly use the Empire texture:
- The map editor (i.e. it is pre-placed on the map and so is present and under the player's control when the level begins)
- An Overworld Gateway
- Through MightyScript
- Through console commands
Only if a player gets a Wizard through one of the following methods will it correctly switch to the evil unit texture:
- Converted in a Torture Chamber
- Found a Neutral Wizard
As far as I can tell, other Empire units always use the correct texture regardless of circumstances, it's only the Wizard that has this problem.
