first of all this is absolutely not true, any good wizard spends 99% of their time in the most inconspicuous dirty clothing. Where do you think they get their spells, just lie down and think "I wonder how I would summon a polar bear?" They have to go out and learn that stuff in dirty bars tracking down people who once knew a guy who knew a guy who once thought they saw a polar bear. You try turning that into a summoning spell my friend. Secondly, as for the actual tower a wizard's tower just reflects their power, the more they've learned the more they see. There is a tower that is a vertical line up to heaven itself, you could stand next to it crane your neck up until it hurts and ask "how the fuck did she get up there?" The answer was that she read every book in the library. these other answers about status or power miss the big picture. wizards are not elected nor appointed by any king. They go out and they learn magic based on what is real and what works. If it doesn't work, it's not magic. Anyone can be a wizard based on casting spells that work. It's the most egalitarian profession that ever existed. The tower is a natural byproduct of commitment to the craft of skill and magic.
