Default [Magic] Wisdom and Strengthen Will Spells Stack?

If both the Wisdom spell and the Strengthen Will spell are cast on the same subject, does the subject get the Will boost from both sources? Or does just the highest Will bonus apply?

Probably both. They are actually different spells and even different Attributes.

However, do note the clause about how you can't cast Wisdom on yourself and it actually needs to be cast by someone with a higher IQ than yours and can only be raised as high as the casters.

So, if you're an IQ 9 barbarian who knows an IQ 14 Mage with FP to burn you could benefit a lot from this spell. Other people probably not so much.

Wow, that's not even new to 4e. If I ever knew that, I'd certainly forgotten it.
