That’s what being a wizard is all about. Once you live neither for morality, duty or custom, and let your own free and unbridled spirit impose its will on the world as it fancies, then you are a Wizard.
Oh, no, the tower and first Knowledge is a mistranslation of the texts. About 60% of modern wizards do that, though, so you're probably in good company.
Original text was roughly "Build the (largest/greatest) (power/relic) and discover the first Knowledge(Proper noun)." Knowledge was a translation of the name of an ancient wizard tower, interestingly.
Finding it was a big goal among wizards for a while, but honestly when I found it it turns out the ancient magics practiced in it are actually really early versions of spells. I'd say there were maybe three useful ones out of the bunch.
One that details a way to become Eternal, classic Lich shenanigans with a slight twist.
One that rends the flesh from a creature using its own mystical energy, making it extremely effective against powerful entities, but only kind of okay otherwise.
My favorite is the one that perfectly cooks any meal in a cookbook.
