Wizards perform manipulations of the basic structure of the physical world. This may include dangerous chemical reactions, warps in space-time, and high energy physics. A lab on top of a tower provides a buffer zone and limits the scope of damage from, say, a fire or a lightning bolt. It’s also like an antenna, in that regard, so it may help to channel, tune, and concentrate energy.
