Wizardry refers to items and effects that directly reduce your chance of failure when casting spells. These are provided by rings. A single source of wizardry decreases spell failure by 25%, two sources by 33.3%, and three by 50%. This is before a stepdown, so actual decreases will be smaller, especially as your failure rate gets smaller.
In addition, Vehumet applies two sources of wizardry (33%) to destructive spells. This bonus stacks with wizardry from other sources[1].
Note that in no case can failure rate of a spell be reduced by better than half using wizardry.
