I have an NPC Evocation Wizard Artificer (seven levels of wizard, and 1 level of artificer), who wields a book in one hand and a Pistol in the other. Using both as a spell focus. The book for stronger spells, and his pistol for weaker spells and buffs.
But what sort of creative way you use your wizard?
My wizard is an illusion school fellow. He’s a stage hypnotist, so he uses a pocket watch on a chain that he holds out and swings to focus his illusion and psychic spells. He got a lot of mileage out of Sleep at low levels.

I'm tinkering with doing Evocation Wizard as either a Hobgoblin Devastator in training or as a Bugbear Witch-doctor going on a vision quest, only reason to go Evocation wizard for me is that I've never played one, Divination or Necromancy are my usual go to Wizard subclasses.

Your DM would need to be rather lenient to let you conjure a Mimic with Find Familiar, even with the stronger version of it supplied by Warlock's Pact of the Chain.
Now, if you somehow managed to befriend a book type Mimic, and can keep it cooperative with you while using it as a Spellbook....

I picture you’ve offended it in some way and it gets petty when mad at you. When you go to close it, your hands get stuck to the cover until you apologize and placate it.
Dan Telfer did an article last year about Pocket Mimics and gave them stats and stuff. I usually get turned off by how far over the line he goes from giving you a humorous flavor to sample to making the end of the joke “the rest of your gaming group hates you for wasting their evening”
However, this one seemed like it could be a real thing. He had a full article’s worth of features and how to play one in combat that could be stripped way back, Some of the traits were very fair and scaled down nicely. But I could see a pocket mimic, maybe not as a familiar, but as a “beast” companion or something. It could have great roleplay value. Maybe as an Alchemist’s Homunculus gone wrong, with. Some mimic DNA got in the supplies, and it came out as a pocket mimic. I can picture this thing sitting on your shoulder turning into weird stuff to avoid being noticed in public. “Why do you have a banana on your shoulder?” “I might ask you why you don’t!”

Sounds pretty cool.
Gonna be funny watching a Wizard with a Devourer book ( mimic based ), and giving that book to anyone else as his/her own spellbook......
My Ready-to-rock&roll chars:
Dertinus Tristany // Amilcar Barca // Vicenç Sacrarius // Oriol Deulofeu // Grovtuk
Maybe the mimic could be like familiar
You mean my wizard used the spell Find Familiar to create that mimc ????

Yeah. Or have a pact of the chains warlock to make the mimic your familiar.

Oo and that's how it keeps track of your spells. At least that's how I'd flavor it.
