Morphology

wizarding = wizard (transparent) = wizard + ing

The form is straightforwardly built from wizard + -ing to mean associated with wizards or magic.

Etymology

Wizarding comes from wizard, which in turn comes from the old word wise meaning 'wise' or 'clever'. The ending -ing makes it about things connected to wizards, so wizarding means 'relating to wizards or magic'.
