More information regarding Kamen Rider Wizard has been in the monthly magazine, Hyper Hobby. Â The 14th Heisei Rider makes an mark in history as the first magic using Kamen Rider!
His mission is to save people from despair and give hope to people. By using rings, Wizard is able to use various types of magic. There have been previous Riders that have been based around magical beings and alchemy, but this time the Rider is using pure magic. Last year, there were many people that were surprised over Fourze’s rocket head. It was something so different from previous Riders, but this year Toei are going back to a more simplistic design. He uses a mysterious, yet simplistic, belt to transform. In the original Kamen Rider, Shocker are the ones who made Takeshi Hongo into Kamen Rider, and the monsters that he fought. Wizard will be told in a similar fashion, the solar eclipse that created demons will play a part in Wizard’s backstory. The story begins with Souma meeting the rookie police, Rinko. Souma takes on the role as Wizard and fights the mysterious demons called “Phantom.”
Both his head and body have facets, this is because his design is intended to resemble jewels. In Flame Style’s case, it’s based around a ruby.
The rings on his left hand are intended for form changing, which is why they look like small heads.
While the rings on his right hand are used for magic and the animal in the ring is actually a dragon.
The hand grip on his WizarSwordGun allows him to switch between the gun and sword form.

I predict the following, based on what we’ve seen with the last three shows:
1) There will be a large number of different rings that can be used in different combinations for different forms and / or spells.
2) Immediately following the show’s debut, the Ganbaride arcade game will be updated to allow the toy rings be used with the game.
3) Rings with the faces of former Riders will go on sale within the first two months.
