Wheel of the wizard

[Bushwhacker]

The expression:

Wheel of the wizard! seems an invented exclamation from a tale. But, how can we connect a wheel with a wizard?

Do you know the meaning of "wheel" here, with a wizard being around?

Thank You

It could mean a lot of things, context might help.

I assume that came from here: "Night School" - a Story of Sembia by Clayton Emery ?

The author uses a number of colorful expressions:

Nine gates to the night!
Wheels of fire!
Wheel of the wizard!
Guts of the gods!
Wheels of the wizards

As far as I know, none of these have any particular meaning. They were simply invented to sound like something a "sword and sorcery" adventurer might say.

No context, because it is said by a character who's a bodyguard when a swindler he knows try to cheat his master.

Might wheel here be the halo wizards make swinging the wand?

Thanks

As suggested, it is far more likely that the writer [I cannot call him / her an author] is trying to create a phrase that sounds like something magic. These "novels " are dangerous to a learner of English since most contain words and phrases that only remotely connect to English.

If a 'sword and sorcery' writer knew the word (which I doubt), 'weal' (=good fortune/benefit) would make more sense in an invented oath. But it's pretty obscure.
