The WizarDriver is Kamen Rider Wizard's transformation belt that was given to Haruto by the mysterious White Wizard, who has his own WizarDriver, the White Wizard Driver, which is identical to Wizard's except for the red trim around the Hand Author as opposed to gold, the voice tone deeper than Haruto's Wizardriver, pointed fingers, and a black strap & accents instead of silver. Orma and the users of Kamen Rider Mage also happen to have a WizarDriver with an identical design to Fueki's, the latter being dubbed Mage's Belt by the official website. The WizarDriver is the mystical device that enables Haruto Soma to unlock the powers of the Wizard Rings, allowing him to transform into Kamen Rider Wizard and perform various magical abilities.

After Haruto activates the Driver with the Driver On Ring, he transforms into Kamen Rider Wizard by scanning a Transformation Ring worn on his left hand across the Grimoire Stone held within the Hand Author. To initiate a spell, Haruto scans a Magic Ring worn on his right hand. In most instances of using a magical power, the belt announces the ring's name and then "Please" through the Spell Enchanter speaker. However, if a Dragon Style Ring is scanned, instead of announcing "Please" after the ring's element, the Spell Enchanter will announce "Dragon".

Also, if a Magic Ring that can initiate a finishing attack is scanned, the Spell Enchanter will first announce "Chōīne" ("Very nice"), then the ring's name, and finally "Saikō" ("The best"). Wizard can use the Shift Levers to switch the position of the Hand Author. Every time the Hand Author's position is changed, the Spell Enchanter announces one of two standby chants.

Left : The Shabadoobi Touch Henshin chant allows Wizard to use the Transformation Rings to change into different Styles.
Right : The Lupachi Magic Touch Go chant allows Wizard to use the Magic Rings to cast different spells.

If a Wizard Ring is scanned by a wearer whose magical energy was either misused or lost, the Spell Enchanter will announce "Error", meaning it will not be granted. When not transformed, the WizarDriver appears as an ordinary belt with a hand-shaped buckle, though it retains the ability to utilize any Magic Ring. Interestingly, Wizard can use Beast's unique Wizard Rings simply by scanning them on the Hand Author.

Wizard Ring Holder

Wizard Ring Holder is a strap located on the left side of Kamen Riders Wizard and Beast's Drivers, matching the belt's respective colors with the WizarDriver's being silver while the Beast Driver's is gold. It is used to carry the Riders' respective Wizard Rings, bearing five ring slots each. Magic / Mana

Mana is a type of energy used to perform magic in Kamen Rider Wizard. Gifted humans known as Gates have the potential to use mana. When a Gate gives in to despair, the mana cores within their bodies are corrupted into Inner Phantoms and proceeds to break out of their Underworld, killing their Gate and taking their real world, full-fledged form. Kamen Riders like Haruto Soma/Kamen Rider Wizard, as well as presumably Sou Fueki/The White Wizard, Orma/Kamen Rider Sorcerer, and the Kamen Rider Mages, utilize mana. Koyomi, a "doll", requires regular infusions of mana from Haruto via the Please Wizard Ring to keep her half-life going by keeping the Philosopher's Stone charged with energy.

Should Haruto run out of mana, he will be unable to perform magic, resulting in an "Error" sound when a Wizard Ring is scanned on the WizarDriver. Some Phantoms such as Medusa can siphon mana, which she does using her hair of snakes can also suck the mana out of a target such as Wizard, draining him almost instantly with almost no effort.

A unique Phantom from ancient times, Beast Chimera is a cannibal who consumed other Phantoms and Ghouls by absorbing their mana for substance. He was sealed in the Beast Driver until it was discovered by budding archeologist Kosuke Nitoh, the Phantom formed a pact with him and entered his Underworld. Kosuke would use the Beast Driver to become Kamen Rider Beast to defeat Phantoms for Chimera to eat. The catch was that Kosuke constantly needs to hunt down Phantoms to feed Chimera or he will die.

Haruto had offered to supply Chimera with mana via the Please Ring, but the Phantom refused to be simply given mana rather than taking it, much like a prideful wild creature. It was later discovered that Chimera could feed on the fruits of the Helheim Forest as an alternative to mana. Wiseman told Sora that to obtain the Philosopher's Stone, a huge quantity of mana must be gathered to perform the Sabbath without the need of a solar eclipse, thus more Phantoms need to be created by forcing Gates into despair. Sora wondered if there was another way, despite Wiseman's claims.

Wizard Ring Box

Wizard Ring Box is a chest crafted from scratch by the bashful Violet Golem PlaMonster to hold Kamen Rider Wizard's Wizard Rings.

Demon Dragon Brace Drago Timer

Demon Dragon Brace Drago Timer is an arm-mounted device that is for Kamen Rider Wizard, created from all of Dragon's elemental magical energy that was spilt out from Haruto's body during a ritual to help Wizard become stronger. When Wizard rotates the clock, while also flipping the thumb as the timer clocks down, he can create 3 more duplicates of his Dragon Styles. The duplicates can vanish one of two ways: if Haruto wills them away or if the clones receive a grievous amount of injuries. When the clock runs out, it will announce "Final Time". Wizard can also scan the Drago Timer's Prism Drago Light ring attachment on the WizarDriver to transform himself into All Dragon. However, this form can only be used for a limited time, due to it taking a toll on his magic reserves.

History

Realizing that the Phantom Beelzebub's time-space bending ability had him at a disadvantage, Haruto in Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Dragon was defeated. Luckily, he was saved by the White Wizard who took him to a strange altar. Coming to, Haruto was told of a ritual to become stronger by drawing the full potential of his inner Phantom and he accepted to do it after being warned of the risks. Enduring the pain, Haruto gained a manifestation of his mana: The Drago Timer.

Functions

Like all of Wizard's gear, the Drago Timer is summoned by using the Connect Ring. Once acquired, he places the device on his right wrist, which causes a voice to say "Drago Time". Wizard then turns the dial to the color of whatever Dragon Style he's currently in, making the voice say "Set Up".

First Full Revolution

Wizard hits the thumb, causing the voice to say "Start" and the dial to turn. As the dial passes each color, he hits the thumb to summon a clone of the Dragon Style with said color. Once it reaches Final Time, Wizard can hit the thumb to activate Dragon Four-Mation, equipping the Dragon Styles with their respective WizarDragon parts and allowing them to unleash their finishing attacks.

Flame Dragon w/ Drago Skull : Dragon Breath
Water Dragon w/ Drago Tail : Dragon Tail
Hurricane Dragon w/ Drago Wings : Dragon Wing
Land Dragon w/ Drago Hell Claws : Dragon Claw

Second Full Revolution

After all of the Dragon Styles are on the battlefield and a second Final Time is reached, Wizard can use the Prism Drago Light on the Drago Timer to scan the WizarDriver, activating All Dragon, which combines the duplicates with the Timer wearer and equips him with all of the WizarDragon parts that are normally exclusive to a certain Dragon Style. Sometimes, Wizard can achieve All Dragon without the other Dragon Styles on the battlefield by scanning the Prism Drago Light on the WizarDriver, after the second Final Time reached. Once the scanner detects the Timer, the voice announces "All Dragon, Please".

Usage

As Beelzebub beaten Kamen Rider Beast, Haruto arrived and transforms to battle Beelzebub before assuming Flame Dragon to summon the Drago Timer. Using the Drago Timer, Kamen Rider Wizard created three manifestations of his Water Dragon, Hurricane Dragon, and Land Dragon forms. With his time-space ineffective, the Wizards finished Beelzebub off with their Dragon Four-Mation followed by a quadruplet Slash Strike.
