Elven Spellfilcher
Spellfilchers are Wizard-Thieves that use their skills as a Thief to steal Magic Spells and items rather than for more typical and mundane criminal ends.
Some younger Elves in particular are drawn to this sort of activity, as it allows them the opportunity to accumulate more knowledge and arcana than would otherwise be due to those of their age.
Spellfilchers are interesting to play because they combine the fun of being a Rogue with the promise of power inherent to being a Wizard.

Larcenist
Larcenists are Rogues that use their wits and skills to basically steal, nick, and make off with a wide variety of loot. They often concentrate on fast hands and faster feet, as a caught thief is likely a dead thief. One step ahead of the pack, or one step behind lurking in the shadows as they will, the Larcenist excels at living outside of the rules and boundaries of social propriety and legal entanglements.
Compared to other professions, the Larcenist never worries about an empty pocket, because wherever there are people, there are funds to be fleeced.

Prodigal
The Wizardry Magic System is detailed here.
The Prodigal may have attended a formal University of Magic, been instructed by a Mentor, or otherwise received instuction in the Wizardly Arts (perhaps by a Spellcasting parent) but either way they received many years of instruction and then either quit, got kicked out, were given up on by their instructors, or something else occured that prevented them from finishing their training. Some continue to educate themselves as best they can.
The Prodigal Package is useful for any half-trained Wizard concept, or even for a "multiclass" character that split their time between Magic and some other pursuit. Also, a Character built on the Prodigal can always improve their Magic capabilities as they progress, so its a good starting point for mixed background concepts.
