Wizards vs sorcerers: Stranger Things season 5 hinges on the difference

Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) has a deep connection with his Dungeons & Dragons character, the wizard Will the Wise. He sometimes dresses in costume, and the character’s name is on his fort in the woods. When Will the Wise is defeated in a battle with the demon lord Demogorgon in the Stranger Things series premiere, it foreshadows Will’s abduction later that episode.
