An important part to consider when changing CW is that we want to keep him as a scum claim, since those are low, but we also want him to be useful to BD. I also want him to have slight protection to himself. He becomes a very obvious target once outed.
Court Wizard - Blue Dragon Support
No Passive
Day ability - Magic Empowerment: Increase the power of your magic to include yourself, along with your target. (2 uses)
Night ability 1 - Barrier: Protect your target from negative effects like conversion, occupation, and target redirection. Does not prevent death. Can’t target self or King. (Unlimited)
Night Ability 2 - Magical Doorway: All visits to a single target will be redirected to another target of choice. Does not swap them. Can’t target self or King for either use. (2 uses)
The point of this rework keeps CW as a defensive class, giving him the ability to protect key BD roles, and also an option to protect himself, should he be concerned for conversion. This also is fairly easy to fake, and with Magical Doorway being limited to 2, you can’t spam it forever on Prince. And while it is unique, it requires players to visit your target before you can be “confirmed”.
Sage - Unseen Support
No Passive.
Day Ability - Magical Empowerment: Increase the power of your magic to include yourself, along with your target. (2 uses)
Night Ability 1 - Dark Barrier: Prevents the Assassin from being Occupied or Target changed for the night. (Inifinite Uses)
Night Ability 2 - Dark Doorway: Redirects all targets except the Assassin to another target of choice. Can target King for first choice, can not redirect players to King. (2 uses)
These changes get rid of Tornado as a whole and lets Sage be better at pretending to be his BD counterpart. This also protects the assassin from Drunks and Butlers who could potentially find him out. Dark Doorway also emulates what Firewall already does, but makes it slightly better.

@RawkHawk I really liked you magical doorway idea and I used it in my CW rework with a different name. Hope you don’t mind!

I really do think the biggest problem with CW is how unconfirmable it is, so real CWs claiming CW get exe’d just because “it’s a common evil claim”.

CW NEEDS to be unconfirmable for evils to claims it. We should be making classes harder to confirm, although not impossible/extremely hard, not easier.

Shrimpy’s Court Wizard Content Entry
Day abilities:
Counter-Spell: Target a player and select an ability (all Unseen, Cult and Neutral Killer abilities are listed). If target is of the evil faction or the Neutral Killer and attempts to use the ability you selected, your Magic Barrier will grant death immunity tonight.
Divination: Predict who dies next. If you are correct and the player was not Blue Dragon, your next use of Magic Barrier will grant death immunity.

Slightly modified Version from my earlier overall balance rehaul: https://forum.imperium42.com/t/my-overall-balance-rehaul-in-this-game-based-on-current-patch/40671
Barrier:
Zusammenfassung
Changed night ability barrier:
Now occupies the person attempting to harm your target the next night. You will know the type of Offense aimed on the target of your barrier (E.G Someone attempted to convert your target)
Tornado (slightly modified cause CW is supposed to be a support class):
Zusammenfassung
Removed Tornado
Added new night ability aegis of light (i guess you could also name it tornado):
Protect your target with a gleaming aegis of light preventing them from being visited. Everyone who visits your target will be blinded and hence cant accuse someone of treason nor vote for execution/pardon (2 uses)

Since you mentioned me, I have no problems with it. Always good in situations like this to have many ideas come together, to make something even greater.

Essentially the same class. Still boring and mostly unconfirmable. Aegis of Light is just Ice Ward but renamed. You have to get lucky with barriers still, just that you know the exact thing you protected

Oh really? didnt play when Ice ward was a thing lel Will just leave it be as is though

I wouldn’t say it’s Ice Ward but renamed. IIRC Ice Ward only affected the Court Wizard himself, and also didn’t kill players who attempted to visit. The killing part makes me hesitant on it though, as it feels like it would kill BD far more often than kill unseen.

Actually, ice ward used to be able to do both, except for the killing part.

My suggested rework is linked here.
Day ability:
“Power: Truth” (1 use) - During trial, you can check to see if the prosecuted is Blue Dragon.
Night abilities:
“Power: Barrier” (3 uses) - Protects a random Blue Dragon, other than yourself, from death.
“Power: Word” (1 use) - Type a single message to give all Blue Dragon players.
A breakdown of the abilities is mentioned in my topic linked above

I made two different CW suggestions, one of them focuses on protecting like current CW and the other is more about empowering, more details on how abilities work on this link.
The Court Wizard
Magic Barrier (Day) - Select a player. Said player will be immune to negative effects and conversion as long as you are alive. Cannot target yourself. 1 use.Magic Portal (Night) - Select a player. Guarantees that everyone trying to visit said player will succeed no matter what. Investigative roles visiting said player will not get fake results. Unlimited uses.
Tornado (Night) - Swap two player’s positions, forcing players visiting one of them to visit the other. 3 uses.
Second suggestion, focused more on empowering:
The Court Wizard
Mirror Spell (Night) - Select two players. The first player will also use their night action with the second player, in addition to whoever they targeted. (This makes people able to use their night abilities on two people rather than one).
Recharge (Night) - Grants a player 1 extra use of all their limited use abilities. 1 use.
